Hello again,

As I look out of my window I notice the crocuses poking through the grass and the doves anxiously cooing and realise that spring is only around the corner. We have just planted a new Sycamore tree in the Memorial Garden, which stands about 8 ft high by the waterfall. I look forward to all the families that will visit and bring colour through their floral tributes.
 

May brings the arrival of our new fleet of cars and we are all very excited about that.

This month has been particularly difficult having again had to repatriate soldiers lost in conflict in Iraq
 

It has also been a month where we have seen the death of some of our old friends, Mrs Mahoney, Mrs Parish and Mr Glover to mention but a few – all good Bermondsey people who will be sadly missed.

We are busy getting our summer uniforms ready and are looking forward to my Convention of Funeral Directors from all over the world, taking place at Canary Wharf in June.

We sadly say goodbye to Mark who has been our primary embalmer for the past 10 years and we wish him well with his move to Lincolnshire with his family.

We also warmly welcome Emerson De Luca and Rob Rowntree into the fold and wish Alan well with his new embalming course.

We also welcome our new driver Keith.

Also to remind you that my new book ‘Strong Shoulders’ is now on sale through good bookshops, through The Southwark News or here at Albins.

My best wishes to you all.
