A new dawn for funeral arrangements with the launch last week of Dandelion Farewells

HORSHAM, U.K. - Jan. 29, 2015 - PRLog -- As the sun rose through the winter mist last Thursday, the launch of Dandelion Farewells at Clandon Wood Natural Burial Ground undoubtedly marked the beginning of a new era for funeral services in our area. Founded by the inspirational Judith Dandy, Dandelion Farewells based in West Sussex, is an independent funeral company, offering a much more tailored and personal approach to how we care for and say good bye to those we love, from the moment of their passing and throughout the journey to the final service itself.

Attended by an impressive and diverse gathering of funeral directors, celebrants and ministers from across the south, as well as other representatives of the funeral industry, the launch of Dandelion Farewells was the culmination of over a year’s hard work by this local mum of four, who has an innovative vision of making funeral arrangements much more bespoke and reflective of a person’s life and of raising awareness of the many different choices we have when it comes to celebrating a loved one’s passing.

“Dandelion Farewells is about what is right for you and your family.” Judith explained. “Some may be looking for something more natural than traditional burial or cremation, others may be looking for something very personal and representative of a person’s life. They may want to care for the deceased at home or hold the service either at home or just somewhere different from the more traditional venues. What I want to do is create awareness of the many alternatives and make the planning and creation of those last days a positive and truly memorable experience. A funeral, and the days surrounding it, are so pivotal to the grieving process, it’s vital to get it right and doing so, really doesn’t have to be difficult or to cost the earth anymore.”

Clandon Wood Natural Burial Ground, with its glass pavilion floating above the stunning nature reserve and natural burial ground, is the embodiment of spiritualism and serenity. And it was certainly a poignant introduction to some of the choices Judith will be offering which include not only traditional burial and cremation arrangements but anything from the religious or secular, to memorialisation and more natural, sustainable options.  And with Judith’s warm but bubbly personality, combined with so many very personal arrangements, Dandelion Farewells seems certain to blaze a trail in this new era of after death care.
