A night of remembrance and community 🕯️

​We want to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us last night at Morton Manor Community Centre for our Christmas Memorial Service.

It was truly a moving evening, and we were honoured to share that space with you to remember the loved ones we miss so dearly during the festive season.

​A special thank you to Celebrant Jaqui Thompson from Sorrel Celebrancy and Rev Shreyl Haw, from the hospital chaplaincy for leading the service with such warmth and compassion.
Your words meant a great deal to us and the families.

​We are proud to serve this community. Pictured here are Scott Pearson (Funeral Director), Anne Taylor (Funeral Director), and Tom Coward (Business Leader), who were grateful to stand alongside you all.

​From all of us at Michael Walsh and Walkers Funeral Directors, we wish you peace and comfort this Christmas.

National Grief Awareness Week:

🕊️ Supporting Our Community During National Grief Awareness Week 🕊️
This week marks National Grief Awareness Week (December 2nd - December 8th), an important time dedicated to opening up conversations around loss and supporting those who are grieving.
At Michael Walsh Funeral Directors and Walkers Funeral Directors, we understand that grief is a deeply personal journey, and there is no right or wrong way to feel. It can feel isolating, but we want you to know you are not alone.

Ways We Can Support You:
* Compassionate Care: We are always here to offer guidance on funeral arrangements with empathy and respect.
* Information & Resources: We can connect you with local grief support groups and helpful organisations.
* A Listening Ear: Our door is always open for a private conversation, providing a safe space to share.

Let's use this week to look out for each other and foster a culture of understanding and compassion for those navigating loss.
If you or someone you know needs support, please don't hesitate to reach out to us privately or contact one of the wonderful organisations dedicated to grief support.
