As a new year begins, we know that for many it will arrive quietly rather than joyfully. Grief does not follow the calendar, and for some the turning of the year can be especially hard.

Wherever you are on your journey, we hope the months ahead bring moments of comfort, kindness, and light — and the reassurance that you are not alone.

From all of us at Love & Stevens Funeral Directors, we wish you a peaceful New Year, filled with hope in whatever form it may come. 🤍

In Loving Memory of Marlene Carter

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Marlene Carter, who peacefully departed on 9th December 2025 at the age of 80. Marlene was a beloved mother to her four children Darren, Sharene, Mark and Denine and a cherished grandma to her seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

We invite you to join us for a Celebration of Life service in Marlene’s honour on Monday 12th January at Pontefract Crematorium. The service will commence at 11:40am and we encourage everyone to wear a dash of pink.

Following the service, there will be a gathering at The Kings Croft Hotel for refreshments and to share fond memories of Marlene.

In lieu of flowers, Marlene’s family kindly requests that you consider making a donation to the upkeep of the lead chapel in Towten. This was a very special place for her to visit and your contribution would be greatly appreciated.
