For many years, most funerals in the UK took place in churches, crematoria or chapels.

Today, more families are choosing spaces that feel personal, somewhere that reflects the life, values or passions of the person they’re remembering.

Our technology helps Funeral Directors arrange services in a wide range of settings, so you’re not limited to traditional venues.

Whether it’s a community hall, a favourite location, or somewhere meaningful outdoors, there are ways to create a service that feels true to your loved one.

Your Funeral Director can guide you through the options and how Obitus can support you along the way.

As the new year begins, January can feel especially emotional. It's often a month of reflection, memories and the ongoing journey of grief.

This message from a family member touched our team. Knowing a loved one can still be part of a service, even from a distance, can bring comfort when it’s needed most.

If a service has supported your family, we’re always here to listen.

Sara's Memory Mixtape is live! 🎧

At Obitus, we believe music isn't just something we listen to, it's how we remember and tell the story of who we are.

A single song can capture a chapter of our lives, a moment we shared, or someone we miss.

Track 1: Childhood Anthem - "Shooting Star" by Flip & Fill 💫
This tune takes Sara back to carefree nights at the disco.

Track 2: Flashback Favourite - "Superman" by Black Lace 🦸‍♂️
This melody unlocks Sara's memory of family holidays filled with laughter.

Track 3: Theme Song - "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan 🎀
This song captures Sara's journey of embracing individuality today.

Track 4: All Timer - "One Day More" by Les Misérables Cast 🎶
This powerful classic is Sara's go-to for quiet reflection and hope.

Music has a way of holding our memories close, and bringing people even closer.

We love hearing our team's mixtapes, and how they inspire the way we think about memory and celebration.

One of our valued funeral partners recently shared how families are increasingly requesting service recordings and keepsakes as part of their ongoing support after the funeral.

USB/DVD recordings and memory boxes are a way for you to revisit a service in your own time, share moments with relatives who couldn’t attend, and hold onto something lasting beyond the day itself.

Talk to your Funeral Director about Obitus keepsakes.

Christmas can feel very different when you’re grieving.

If you’re planning a funeral or memorial at this time of year, you may find comfort in choosing music that reflects what feels right for you, whether that’s a traditional carol, a familiar festive song, or something that holds a personal memory.

Our music library includes options like “I’ll be Home for Christmas” and “Silent Night”, along with thousands of other pieces that can support you in creating a service that feels gentle, warm and true to the person you’re remembering.

You can search our library to find the music that feels right for you.

On the final day of National Grief Awareness Week, people across the UK will be lighting the country orange in memory of loved ones who are no longer with us.

Whether you light a candle at home, share a photo, or take part in your local community, your light is a way of honouring someone special.

Join us in remembering together ✨

Distance shouldn’t stop us from remembering someone together.

For families who are far apart, it can feel comforting to know that a celebration of life or memorial can still be shared, wherever people are.

Our live streaming service helps bring friends and family into the moment, whether they’re nearby or across the world, so no one has to say goodbye alone.

We’re here to help make that connection possible.

03/12/2025

National Grief Awareness Week begins today, and we’re proud to support The Good Grief Trust in raising awareness around coping with grief.

The Obitus team will also be planting our own Growing With Grief seeds, and we’d love you to join us.

Order your seed pack here: https://www.thegoodgrieftrust.org/ngaw 🌱

Plant, share, then tag us and The Good Grief Trust with your photos so we can grow hope and remembrance together.

As Men’s Mental Health Month is coming to a close, it’s worth remembering that the need for support doesn’t end here.

Often the first step is simply reaching out to the people already around us. A quick message to a friend, a quiet conversation with a colleague, or a moment of honesty with a family member can open the door to support. Those small connections can make a difficult time feel a little less heavy.

And if grief feels overwhelming or difficult to talk about, there are also organisations ready to help:

CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) – 0800 58 58 58 | thecalmzone.net
Mind – mind.org.uk
Mental Health UK (Men’s Mental Health) – mentalhealth-uk.org/mens-mental-health
Movember – uk.movember.com
Cruse Bereavement Support – 0808 808 1677 | cruse.org.uk

Whether you reach out to someone close to you or speak to a professional, you don’t have to carry loss on your own.
