AV Smith & Sons Say Farewell to Branch Arranger Sheila Sherwood
After just two and a half years with the company, Sheila Sherwood, Funeral Arranger at AV Smith & Sons, Hillingdon, is leaving to start a new career with British Airways at nearby Heathrow Airport. In her time with Lodge Brothers, Sheila has arranged just over 250 funerals. She has endeared herself to clients with her calm and empathetic manner, and her colleagues admire lively sense of humour and teamwork.
Her office is festooned with ‘thank-you’ cards from grateful clients and, as this web-site will testify, a whole raft of testimonials.
Our local vicar at St John’s Church, Hillingdon, Reverend Robert Harrison commented, “It has been an absolute pleasure working with Sheila; she has such a kind and caring nature that is so reassuring for bereaved families. She has been an integral part of the very fabric of Hillingdon village life and she will be sorely missed”.
Sheila said, “I have really enjoyed working for Lodge Brothers; the people are fantastic and the job is extremely satisfying, however, I just feel ready for a career move.”

Don’t put off the inevitable
Having lost several members of our family over the past few years got me thinking about my future and how I can save my loved ones the agony of having to deal with their grief as well as plan for my funeral. I want to be remembered the way I live and have the farewell that would suit me. I don’t want to leave my family with the financial burden of organising my funeral.
I researched some of the well – known UK funeral directors and their Prepaid funerals offerings. I found that Lodge Brothers are the most reputable and have several flexible prepaid funeral options making planning for my funeral effortless.
I am secure about Lodge Brothers acting in my best interest as the money paid into the fund is held in a secure Trust ensuring 2 crucial things:
- The cost stays the same once it’s been paid ensuring there are NO fees later as a result of added costs or inflation. This saves your family money in the end.
- Your funds are securely held ready to be paid over to the funeral directors when the time comes.
