Hi, my name is Adam and I was a filmmaker that had travelled the world but felt a calling to come back down to earth. I dreamt of reconnecting more with humans and nature, and a way to leave technology and screens behind.

 

I spent a long time soul searching and trying to find a way to live that would bring both others and myself happiness and comfort. I searched high and low for my vocation - this wasn’t something I could rush or force myself into.

 

I felt lost, frustrated and overwhelmed that there didn’t seem to be a role out there for me; something I could immerse myself in. Something that would bring the quality of life not just to me but to others, too.

 

Sadly during this time, I unexpectedly suffered the loss of three of my closest family members in quick succession. The shock and grief were immense and I fell back into the filmmaking work I had known for over a decade - the thought of more change during this time was unfathomable.

 

I would work all week, and often at weekends too doing a job that I no longer enjoyed. During my spare time, I found myself settling back into normal life but I found myself falling into new habits too…

 

Visiting the final resting places of those that I loved became a part of my routine and I found solace in giving the care and respect that I felt they deserved.

 

After the loss of my family, I found myself caring not just for their plots, but also for the plots that they themselves once cared for. The generations went back way beyond my time on this earth. I gave my time and energy to show people that I had never met that they weren’t forgotten, and someone still cared.

 

One day I was making my way around my family's graves, something clicked in my mind and it felt as though I had had an epiphany… at that moment everything changed and I realized my vocation.

 

Speaking to friends, family and strangers I understood that this is what I wanted to do, but not just for those close to me…

 

I saw so many graves and memorials that were going unloved, forgotten, and falling into disrepair. Some had no flowers at all, some had dead flowers, and some had silk flowers that had faded and tattered over a number of years.

 

The more people I spoke to the more I realised just how many different reasons there were that graves fell into these sorry states and why you might need a little help tending to the upkeep of a loved one's resting place - all reasons are valid.

 

Whether it's a case of age-related issues, mobility or disabilities holding you back, the emotional pressure of visiting the site, maybe you've moved further away or just struggle to find the time - I understand and never judge.

 

I decided I would offer to take over the burden for you and make Northamptonshire Cemeteries more beautiful and calming places in the process… but this seemed like an almost impossible task! I had to find a way to make this work for everyone!

 

After years of dreaming of making this a reality, I could no longer hold back on my vocation and I founded Northants Grave Care - I have never been prouder.

 

Northants Grave Care allows me to offer everyone in the county peace of mind when it comes to the final resting places of their loved ones.

 

I have carefully constructed packages that cover all levels of care and that offer the best value - meaning nobody is left out in the cold.

Adam,
