Meynell & Mason Funeral Directors

27/03/2026

This Easter, let's come together to spread a little joy in our community. Our four funeral homes are collecting Easter eggs to donate to local charities and families that may be struggling this season.

Every egg you give can bring a smile to a child's face and make their Easter a little brighter.

If you're able to donate please drop off your Easter eggs at Darlington, Hartlepool, Newton Aycliffe or Wingate.

🐣Thank you for your kindness and generosity - together we can make a difference this Easter.🐣

Some of our staff went into the community and handed out daffodils as a beautiful gesture.

Thank you to everyone who joined in, shared a memory, or stopped for a chat. Coming together in this way reminds us how caring and connected our local community truly is.

Mother's Day Memories from Sara.

'It is an honour to work at Meynell and Mason Funeral Directors in Wingate. My role here connects me more than ever to my mother, who was cherished by many in surrounding villages.

My mam, Enid Errington was a Trimdon girl. Even now she is still fondly remembered in the area. I will bump into people that I know or even don't know. When I tell them I am Enid's daughter they are thrilled to tell me stories about her, how they knew her and how she touched their lives. In these instances, I feel that she is brought back to life and I know her all over again.

My mother lives on in my memories, but also, since her passing I get to know her more through the tales of the lovely people from surrounding communities. After losing her I can say that these random meetings and stories help me heal and are vitally important to the wellbeing of everyone and further connect me to the community.

A few years ago, on Mother's Day, I sent my mam a song by Beth Hart 'Mama, This One's For You'. She replied 'Beautiful words to a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing it with me. I love you immensely - Mam ###xx'.

This song without realising at the time would be her exit song at her funeral. It was beautiful.

Happy Heavenly Mother's Day Mam
I love you immensely
Sara
###xx

For anyone that is interested in reading Mam's book 'A Lollipop Through The Railings' about her early years in Trimdon and her healing after a debilitating motorbike accident please call into our funeral home or call 01429 838199. I'm happy to share her story with you'.

Today we pause to remember the mothers that are no longer with us, may it be a day of quiet reflection of mothers deeply missed, cherishing beautiful memories.
Forever loved, forever remembered and forever our Mothers, watching over us every single day ❤️💐
Please feel free to leave some words about your mother on our post. ❤️
