Evening of Remembrance

This evening, Carina (MD) and Jennifer, our fellow company director, attended the Service of Remembrance at St Thomas the Martyr in Upholland. It was a beautiful and heartfelt service, giving us time to reflect and remember all those who are no longer with us.

The atmosphere was filled with warmth, respect, and community spirit — a gentle reminder of how powerful it can be when people come together to honour and remember.

Taking the time to pause, reflect, and connect with others at moments like this helps keep memories alive and strengthens the bonds within our community.

Lest We Forget

Today, we’re so proud of MD Carina, who gave her time to play The Last Post at St John’s, Pemberton for their Service of Remembrance. It was a truly moving tribute, honouring all those who have fought for our country — not only in the First and Second World Wars, but in so many other battles since.

Carina has been dedicated to supporting our local remembrance events — she was also at St Mark’s Church and Primary School last Friday, and will be performing again at the Pemberton Memorial Garden on Tuesday 11th November, ensuring those who served and sacrificed are never forgotten.

Moments like these remind us how important it is to support our local community, come together, and keep these traditions alive for future generations.

Meet the Team – Eileen Dixon

If Beech Hill had a heartbeat, it would sound a lot like Eileen Dixon. For nearly 17 years, Eileen has been the backbone (and some might say the matriarch) of our R. Banks branch — keeping everything running smoothly, shining brightly, and firmly in order.

Known for her sharp wit, infectious smile, and no-nonsense attitude, Eileen manages to balance professionalism with personality like no one else. She’s the first to lend a hand, the quickest to share a laugh, and the one who ensures that Beech Hill stays in tip-top shape — colleagues and clients included!

Simply put, Beech Hill wouldn’t be the same without her. Here’s to Eileen — proof that dedication, humour, and heart are the real keys to long-term success.

Yesterday we had the honour of conducting a truly beautiful funeral service — one filled with heartfelt tributes and personal touches that reflected a life well lived.

It’s moments like these that remind us how meaningful those little details can be — they bring comfort, tell stories, and celebrate individuality in the most special way.

Here at R Banks, we’re proud to help families honour their loved ones exactly as they wish. No request is too big or too small — we’re here to make every service as unique as the life it celebrates.
