We think most people know by now that Bev and I have sold Ely Funeral Service Limited, but still get asked if we are involved.

Bev has completely finished in her role as company secretary and I am now retained as a part-time consultant, just a few hours a month.

It is now two years since the takeover by Dignity, which has retained most of the staff which Bev and I employed. Dignity leases the premises from me in Tower Road, which I still own.

It also has premises in Forehill, trading as Ely Funeral Service.

Since January 2013, both Bev and I have been busy. I have various properties in Ely which are rented out, Bev is now a qualified hypnotherapist and starting a new venture, which was featured in the Ely Standard a few weeks ago.

My eyesight has deteriorated somewhat with Glaucoma. So if you see me around, please speak as I often don’t see you.
