Dealing with the death of a loved one will always be difficult. With emotions running high, it can be hard to cope with personal distress as well as organising the funeral. And this is why sourcing the right funeral director is so important. These professionals will ensure everything runs smoothly and alleviate the sadness this delicate time brings by easing the administrative burden that results from someone’s passing.
Some people find planning the funeral with family and friends helps in their grieving, whilst others prefer to take a step back, either way, talking through with an understanding professional about how they would like to be involved, can easily be achieved. Those who look ahead and plan their own funeral find it peaceful to know that they are in good hands and that all will be as they wish it to be.
The Yorkshire Herald & Advertiser only advertise companies whom they believe can provide our readers with a quality service.
Planning ahead
Planning your own funeral may sound morbid, but it can save your loved ones a substantial amount of money. Apart from alleviating the financial burden of your survivors, planning your own funeral
ensures that you will have the funeral you want, and relieves your survivors of the guesswork entailed as they try to figure out what kind of funeral you would have wanted. Here are five reasons to start planning:
1: Get What You Want. When you plan your own funeral, you ensure that you get everything you want and nothing that you don’t. You can decide what you want done with your remains, whether it’s to be buried, cremated or donated to science. If you choose to be buried, you can choose your own burial plot, mausoleum (above ground tomb) and casket. If you’d rather be cremated, you can choose whether to
place your ashes in a columbarium, which is a mausoleum dedicated to this purpose, or be scattered according to your wishes. You can also choose the type of memorial service you want by requesting that your loved ones throw a party to celebrate a life well lived, without your body present, or decide to have a traditional funeral service with a viewing of your casket.
2: Save Money. Most funerals are planned after the person has already died. It’s done by family members who are grieving the loss of someone they love. The decision to pay £2,000 for a quaint, cosy coffin or £10,000 for the platinum, silk-lined casket with gold trim is entirely your decision. Making decisions ahead of time can reduce the amount of “emotional” money spent.
3: Pay in Advance. All you’ll need to do is appoint someone in charge and make sure they know where the money is.
4: Lessen the Burden on Your Loved Ones. Losing someone you love is an emotional and very difficult time. Scrambling to make funeral arrangements and find the money to pay for them are not ideal ways to spend the first few days of grieving. By planning your own funeral in advance, you’ve given your loved ones a gift. You’re allowing them to focus on their grief and celebrate your life without worrying about what to do next.
5: Peace of Mind. Lastly, planning your own funeral gives you peace of mind. You’ll know that, when the time comes, things will be done your way with your money. You’ll have taken the burden off of your loved ones ad made your own decisions.
You’ll find many different services in this section that cover many areas of dealing with properties across the north of England:
Tenants Flood Online To Find New Property
Q: I don’t seem to get much of a response when I advertise my property locally, where can I find tenants?
A: 92% of tenants start their search for a new property online so if you’re a landlord it’s no longer good enough to only use a high street property agent and take traditional routes to market. It’s time to change.
People are looking on mobile devices for their next property, with a 50% increase in the last 12 months, whether that’s on the way to work or walking home from yoga. In fact, 39% of tenants are now searching for their next property out of hours, meaning traditional estate agents aren’t able to catch this segment of the market.
It might be tempting to ignore this trend, people will always want places to live, right? And besides, traditional ways of advertising your properties have never failed before. This is a dangerous attitude to have, look no further than Airbnb. It’s a great example of what is happening to the UK rental market as new channels emerge for advertising property.
22% of landlords use classified adverts, but the times are changing. Landlords must change their behaviour to ensure they effectively advertise their properties in the digital world too.

The Yorkshire Herald & Advertiser recognizes that families in the UK are always looking for something new and something exciting to try. Our ‘What’s On’ Features have become increasingly popular over the years. We ask our readers; “So you’re trying to plan another day out for the whole family, but just aren’t sure where to start?” And then naturally, we give them some ideas!
Our advertisers range from smaller, more localized attractions or tourist hot spots around Yorkshire through to the bigger, national theatres, theme-parks, castles and events.
A favourite amongst readers have always been the the more subtle atmosphere and educational aspect of the more local parks, farms, zoos and aquariums. Everyone likes a trip to the Zoo – today it’s more about conserving our world wild life and children can learn about the caring aspect, as well as have a super day out. In addition to featuring numerous zoos scattered throughout the UK – there have been plenty of specialized wild life centres specialising in small animals, birds, insects and butterflies that have benefited from their feature in the ‘Yorkshire Herald & Advertiser’.
One successful feature we ran recently for example was; “For those who what a change why not visit an exhibition or museum?”
We focused here on the fact that ‘Museums are no longer those stuffy places to visit you might remember when you were younger; instead they now provide hands-on experiences for even the youngest children and cater for all types of genres.’ We explained to readers that;
‘Whether its dinosaurs, a celebrity or certain time period that you and your family are interested, if you look hard enough there is certain to be a specialist exhibition in a museum somewhere to cater for your desires.’ The advertisers featured in this piece commented after the feature that the response was even better than predicted. Below are some of our regular advertisers who have all benefited from the Yorkshire Herald & Advertiser marketing their business and their products to the numerous couples, families and groups that pick up our publication

Fireworks night can be terrifying for many dogs, but did you know that teaching dogs to cope with noise fears in advance can help lessen the stress they experience when they hear the unexpected whizz, pop and bang of fireworks? To avoid the fear and anguish many dogs will go through during fireworks displays, it’s so important that owners plan ahead to help them and their dogs feel prepared and comfortable when 5th November comes around. Gradually teaching your dog that noises are not scary will help them be able to cope with unexpected noises over time. This usually involves playing recorded versions of the scary noises, but starting at such a low volume that your dog is not worried by them. The volume and direction of sounds are changed over time, but so slowly that your dog does not show any signs of fear. The sounds should also be associated with something that they enjoy, such as their favourite treats or a game. Dogs who are very frightened already may require support from a qualified, experienced behaviourist. For more tips and advice visit Dogs Trust Dog School, a national network of experienced trainers providing fun, educational courses for all dog owners based on up-to-date scientific research. Using reward-based training methods, we teach the key skills your dog needs to thrive in everyday situations, including focusing on helping dogs to cope with unusual sounds, so they remain relaxed and happy! We’ll help teach you how to slowly introduce noises to your dogs and help them learn that fireworks are not so scary after all! Courses are five weeks long, with a free introductory session. To find your nearest dog school visit www.dogstrustdogschool.org.uk and take your first step towards making the most of your relationship with your four-legged friend now.
200,000 cats and kittens helped every year, but still many more need help.
Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity. Through our network of over 250 volunteer-run branches and 34 centres, we help care for abandoned cats and kittens across the UK.
Our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.
It’s an ambitious vision. However, we truly believe it can be achieved because of our passion, our professional approach and simply because cats are among the UK’s most popular companion pets. We have simple and clear objectives to help cats:
Homing – we help to find good homes for cats in need
Neutering – we promote the benefits of neutering to prevent unwanted litters from being born and becoming the abandoned cats of tomorrow
Information – we improve people’s understanding of cats and their care and help to educate people of all ages about cats and their welfare requirements
We live in a world where there are many more cats than available homes and yet large numbers of unneutered cats are still allowed to have kittens. Sadly, abandoned and neglected cats remain commonplace.
At any one time we can have many thousands of cats in our care across the country. And there are many more that need our help. They may be abandoned, unwanted, mistreated or seeking a new home because their owners can’t care for them any longer. Old, sick, frightened…each cat that arrives in our care is different and we are committed to giving each and every one, the love and care they need for as long as it takes to find them a loving home.
Every cat that comes into us is health checked, treated for fleas and worms and vaccinated and neutered to get them ready for rehoming. We also microchip every cat, so that if they do become separated from their new owner the pair can be quickly reunited.
This dedication ensures the best possible start in their new life. However, such a high level of care comes at a high cost. From the moment a cat comes into our care, to the happy day they leave with their new family, we will do all we can to ensure the best start in their new home.
We never put a healthy cat to sleep
It is our ambition to help even more cats than we do already and cats and their welfare are at the heart of everything we do.
We can only be there for all the cats and kittens that need us with the support of kind friends, friends who are caring and generous cat lovers kind enough to consider making a significant gift towards our work. Not only can you help us to continue to offer shelter, food and care to thousands of unwanted cats and kittens – you can also help to make the world a better place for every cat by helping to educate people to become better owners and by supporting neutering programmes that will stop unplanned litters becoming the unwanted cats of tomorrow.
Can you help give cats a better today and a brighter tomorrow?
Please consider becoming a Friend of our new Black Cat Society. For further information, please contact Mandy Pope our Major Gift Manager on 01625 877 208 or email Mandy mandy.pope@cats.org.uk
Looking for help or repairs with your tech? Check out the company’s listed here to see if they can help:
When your computer stops working, you want the quickest possible way to fix it. Often, your own skills are not enough to solve the problems your computer is experiencing and you need to contact a computer repair technician to assist with your problem. Not all computer support businesses are created equal. Some may require that you bring your computer to them, whilst some offer to come to your home or business. When looking for support for your computer, make sure you get the right service for you.
Bringing Your Computer to Them
There are two advantages to bringing your computer in for repair: You usually get a discount on the price and it allows the technician to have more time to concentrate on your particular problem. The cons, however, are many: You need to have the requisite skill to reassemble your computer once you get it back (may not be a problem for some), if your problem was caused by something that you unplugged such as your monitor or printer the technician will see nothing wrong because it’s not attached when they look at it, and you very well may not have a computer for days which may be needed if you use your computer for business or online classes.
Also, if your computer is away the technician cannot ask you questions or learn of other (possibly related problems) that could help them diagnose or fix other problems you never knew were fixable. You also cannot ask questions or learn what the problem was or how to prevent it in the future. This type of support — done incorrectly — usually involves you dropping your computer off and picking it up when it’s done with little to no explanation or after support care.
Bringing the Support to You
Technicians coming to your home or business is usually the best course. Pros: You get a technician in-person that can talk to you about all your problems, you can usually show them what the problem is right there (or they can see it on your screen if you leave it there) and they can walk you through the solution.
Usually the technician can diagnose and solve your problem right there in your home or office. For those that are not-so-tech-savvy, this is usually the best course of action. It’s the equivalent of having an appliance repair technician, plumber or the cable guy/gal in your home. You have a problem, they come and fix it, they leave.
So, you do have two options. On this page and throughout the issue you will find a number of Computer Repair Services that will be able to help you get through your computer related issues.
