Will Remember Them 💜🐴
As we remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, we also remember the millions of animals who served alongside them.
Horses, dogs, pigeons and countless other animals played vital roles during times of conflict, often facing unimaginable hardship and danger.
They carried soldiers, transported supplies, delivered messages and offered companionship in the darkest of times.
Many never returned home.
The purple poppy is a symbol of remembrance for the animals who served and suffered in war.
At Marc Stephens Funeral Service, horses hold a very special place in our hearts, and we are proud to recognise the courage, loyalty and sacrifice of these remarkable animals.
They had no choice, but they served with unwavering loyalty.
💜 Lest We Forget. 💜

More Than Just a Uniform… 🎩
To some, they’re simply a top hat, a pair of gloves and a cane.
To me, they represent a lifetime of passion for the funeral profession.
Growing up listening to my father’s stories of funeral directing, I developed a fascination with the traditions, standards and values of this remarkable profession.
The top hat represents tradition and the pride I take in my profession.
The gloves represent respect, care and attention to the smallest detail.
The cane represents leadership, dignity and the responsibility of guiding a family through one of life’s most difficult moments.
I have always believed that being a funeral director is far more than a job. It is a privilege, a responsibility and something I am immensely proud of.
Times change, but some traditions are worth preserving.
Pride in the profession. Respect for the deceased. Dignity for the family.
