🌬️ The Wind Phone

This is a place to speak to those we’ve lost.

The Wind Phone is a disconnected telephone, placed in a quiet space, where anyone can go to talk to a loved one who has passed.

There’s no dial tone—but the connection is real. Through words, silence, or tears, people find comfort, reflection, and healing.

You’re welcome to visit. There’s no right or wrong way to use it. Just speak from the heart. 💙

🦋 “I’d like a memorial to remember my loved one, but I’m not really sure what I want….”

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and we’re here to help.
Our Alison can guide you through the options and provide a memorial brochure to browse in your own time.
✨Did you know that you can have a memorial to remember your loved one here at Charnock Richard even if the service took place elsewhere.✨

Prefer to see things in person? We’d be happy to offer a personal tour of the grounds so you can explore the various memorials we have available.

💜 You don’t have to make the decision alone.
