Today, we said goodbye in the gentlest way.

Baby Ivory-Rose was carried on love — not just in arms, but in every quiet glance, every trembling breath, every moment of stillness that filled the room. It wasn’t a grand service, and it wasn’t meant to be. It was small, intimate… and in that closeness, something truly beautiful unfolded.

There is a different kind of silence at a baby’s funeral. Softer. Heavier. Almost sacred. It holds the weight of dreams not yet lived, lullabies not yet sung, and a lifetime of love that arrived all at once.

Ivory-Rose was here, however briefly. And she mattered — deeply, endlessly. Today was not about how long she stayed, but how profoundly she is loved.

We watched a family wrap her in that love, surrounding her with tenderness only they could give. And in those moments, heartbreak and beauty existed side by side — inseparable.

Some goodbyes don’t need many words. Just presence. Just love. Just a promise that she will always be part of their story.

Sleep peacefully, little one. You were — and always will be — everything. 🩷

The past few months have been some of the busiest — and personally, some of the most difficult — I’ve experienced.

As many of you know, I’m currently in the exam stage of my Funeral Director qualification. It’s an important milestone for me, and one I’ve been working towards with real dedication. Alongside this, Jo is also preparing for her own exams next month, and I couldn’t be prouder of the commitment we both share to providing the very best care for the families we support.

And alongside that, Jo and I are both starting a course this evening with Brown J Deb, learning how to support children with grief through her Gifts: Lessons in Loss training.

However, behind the scenes, this period has also been deeply personal. I recently lost my best friend — something that has been incredibly hard to process. Having to then step into the role of helping to plan her funeral was both an honour and one of the most emotional experiences of my life. It has given me an even deeper understanding of grief, and of just how important it is to have the right support around you during such a difficult time.

Despite everything, supporting families remains at the heart of what I do. Being able to walk alongside others during their most challenging moments is a responsibility I never take lightly.

We may be busy, and life may be challenging at times, but please know that we are always here. Elite Funeral Services continues to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ready to offer guidance, care, and support whenever it’s needed.

If you need us, we are always here 🤍

Today we said goodbye to Ken — and somehow, it felt exactly like him.

An Only Fools and Horses hearse leading the way, a touch of humour woven into heartbreak, just as he would have wanted. It wasn’t just a farewell… it was a celebration of a life lived with character, warmth, and a bit of cheek.

On what would have been his 80th birthday, we didn’t just mourn the loss — we honoured the man. Every piece of music, every small detail, felt so deeply personal. You could feel Ken in every moment.

And then Kim… standing there with so much strength, reading the most heartfelt poem. It captured everything — love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between a father and daughter.

Today was heavy, but it was also beautiful. A reminder that even in goodbye, there can be laughter, love, and stories that will carry on.

There are some people who leave a mark on your life without ever trying — Simply by being who they are.

Martin Kelly was one of those people.

A devoted husband, a proud and loving dad, and a man who meant the world to so many, Martin has left behind a space that can never truly be filled. He will be forever loved and deeply missed by his heartbroken wife Julie, and his children Paul and Tina.

He was the kind of man you could rely on — steady, kind, and always ready with a story or a smile. And if you knew Martin, you knew his passion for Manchester United ran through him — a loyal supporter through every high and low, just as he was in life.

We will come together to celebrate Martin’s life and say our goodbyes on:
Tuesday 5th May 2026 at 2:00pm
Hollinwood Crematorium
Roman Road, Oldham, OL8 3LU

All who knew and loved Martin are warmly invited to join, to remember him, to share memories, and to honour the life he lived so fully.

Family have requested a touch of red in attendees attire if desired.

Donations in Martin’s memory will be gratefully received on the day for the British Heart Foundation and the Coronary Unit at Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

A life well lived. A man well loved. A man who will never be forgotten. ❤️

A gentle reminder for Ken’s service this coming Wednesday.

If life is a circle, Ken Newton has simply found his way back to the beginning.

On 24th March 2026, Ken stepped gently out of our hands and back into his late wife’s, Patricia’s — completing a love story that was never meant to stay unfinished.

Ken lived in quiet circles.
The daily paper opened, read, folded… and opened again.
Things broken, mended… and made useful once more.
Nothing wasted. Nothing forgotten.

And now, we meet him at another circle —
Wednesday 15th April 2026 — a day that would have been his 80th birthday.

There’s something right about that.
A life coming round, exactly as it should.

Dukinfield Crematorium
Hall Green Rd, Dukinfield, SK16 4EP

Donations will be collected on the day for charities close to the family’s heart.

So this isn’t only a farewell.
It’s a gathering of memories passed between us, of stories retold, of a man who spent his life quietly holding things together.

Ken may have put down his glue, but the circle he made — of love, of care, of small kindnesses — remains unbroken.

Sleep tight, Ken 💜

We are honoured to support the family of Baby Ivory Rose in announcing the arrangements for her service.

Baby Ivory Rose was born sleeping on 24th February 2026, and though her time here was brief, she is deeply loved and will be forever remembered.

A gentle and heartfelt service to honour Ivory’s life will take place on Thursday 23rd April 2026 at 1:30pm at Dukinfield Crematorium, followed by her interment at the same location.

All who wish to attend and pay their respects are warmly invited to join the family in remembering their precious daughter.

“Some lives are so small, yet their impact is immeasurable.”

Our thoughts remain with Ivory’s family at this deeply difficult time.

We did it.

Supporting Sam’s best friend has been difficult, but what a send off.

Thank you to everybody who came to say their goodbyes to Amanda, known as Mandie to many.

A bike es**rt, a packed out chapel, a truly beautiful and personal service and music that made people smile with reminiscence.

A truly, beautiful Elite service.

Only the best for our Mandie 🩵

A gentle reminder for the funeral service for Amanda Macormac - Mandie 💜

Mandie’s service will take place this Thursday 9th April - at Dukinfield Crematorium at 2pm.

The procession will leave Mandies home address at approximately 1.30-1.35pm to travel to the crematorium. Those that need the address can contact us directly, or alternatively you can travel directly to the crematorium to welcome Mandie on her arrival.

Bikes are welcome, but not obligatory. Nor is the wearing of formal attire - be comfortable just as Mandie would have wanted. A touch of teal or aquamarine (Mandies favourite colours), would be a lovely tribute should you feel inclined.

Donations on the day will be split between We Shall Overcome and Denton Dogs Trust, where Mandie and Rich adopted their beautiful Suzi from.

Following the service, all family and friends are welcome at The Boundary, 2 Audenshaw Road, Manchester, M34 5HD to continue sharing memories of Mandie.
