🕯️Christmas Memorial Service🕯️
Our annual memorial service will take place on Tuesday, December 16th 6.30pm Christ Church, Fulwood; Preston
While we will formally write to all families we have served over the last 12 months this is still an open invitation to all.

Should you wish to attend please can we ask that you either email
hjwhalley.preston@dignityfunerals.co.uk or call 01772 254936
confirming how many will be in attendance (Please advise of any food allergies/requirements). We also need to know the name of your loved one/s - this is so we can add their name/s to the order of service. Should you like a photo to be shared of your loved one too, please include this.

A charity raffle will also take place, so if can help and support us by donating a raffle prize it would be greatly appreciated.

🌍Today is World Kindness Day 🌍

The day highlights good deeds in the community, focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness for good which binds us.
Kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and location.

❤"In a world where you can be anything, be kind" and "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted"❤

As funeral directors and working with like minded colleagues we strive to provide the best personal service to the families we serve and respectfully give their loved ones the ‘send off’ they deserve.
We try and honour long standing traditions including paging the hearse.
We do this in all weather conditions (as shown) in all locations- why? Because we believe it shows respect for the person who has passed.
Sadly though we are faced with more and more people not having the patience and respect for the funeral procession and have had a couple of near misses from drivers who have been impatient and sped past.
Cutting in between following cars is also happening more frequently.
I appreciate we are a little slower on the road and we can cause tail backs and we know people have busy lives and have ‘places to go - people to see’, but your patience and courtesy means the absolute world to families- genuinely it does. This is a difficult drive, the last those families will have with their loved one.
So if you do happen to find yourself in traffic behind a funeral procession, please just bare in mind what the journey means to those in front of you.
Thank you 🎩
