Zoe recently had the honour of conducting the funeral for Kingsley, a much-loved and well-known man in our community. The service took place at Stockport Crematorium, in the beautiful Cypress Chapel surrounded by the gardens of remembrance and bathed in glorious sunshine.

Kingsley was a keen boxer in his younger years, so it was only fitting to see a stunning boxing glove floral tribute in his memory. The family chose bright, vibrant colours to reflect his lively personality and the sound of Caribbean drums filled the chapel - a true celebration of his life.

A wonderful tribute for a wonderful man.

Leyton our funeral director recently conducted a service for a very much-loved lady. The service took us to All Saints RC church in Sale, followed by committal and internment at St Martins Church yard, Ashton On Mersey.

A very sad occasion although the church for the service was where this beautiful lady was married. A full church, filled with family and close friends, readings, Hymns and communion along with stunning floral tributes exactly the service this lady would have wanted. Her husband and family really did this lady proud.

It was such an honour for YOLO to look after the family and help arrange and organise such a fitting send of for a truly remarkable strong lady. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family.

Meet Sam!
For the past two years, Sam has been a valued part of our team and our very own Superwoman. As a mum of five, she balances family life while learning the ins and outs of accounting to continue growing in her role.

Caring for others has always come naturally to Sam. Before joining the family business, she worked as a home carer, offering support and comfort to people who needed it most. She also spent time running her own cleaning business after starting her career in hairdressing - never afraid to roll up her sleeves and get stuck in!

Her best advice?
“Stepping into the funeral profession is so rewarding.”

We’re so grateful to have Sam as part of our team kind-hearted, dedicated and always ready to help others.

Zoe recently had the honour of conducting the funeral for Nathan. Though he had no family, his friends and colleagues at Abbotsford Care Home came together to ensure he received the send-off he truly deserved.

The service was beautifully themed with rainbow colours featured in the order of service, flowers and even the lighting inside the crematorium. The rainbow, a symbol of love, diversity and hope, was a perfect reflection of the warmth and care shown by everyone who came to celebrate Nathan’s life.

Meet Megan and Kate, the stunning pair of horses that recently helped us take a very popular and much-loved lady on her final journey.

This beautiful celebration of life was thoughtfully and respectfully arranged and conducted by our funeral director, Leyton.
Her loving family knew exactly what she would have wanted a stunning horse-drawn hearse, accompanied by our elegant Jaguar fleet and a striking colour theme of red, white, and black that truly stood out.

The Jamaican flag, proudly draped over her coffin, was a touching tribute to her heritage — a true showstopper of a celebration for a remarkable lady.

A truly elegant, personal and respectful send off for a lady of all of those values.

A Small Act of Kindness Can Mean So Much

When someone is grieving, it’s often the smallest gestures that make the biggest difference. A cup of tea, a comforting message, a shared memory, each act reminds them they’re not alone.

Grief can be heavy, but kindness lightens the load, even if only for a moment. If someone you know is struggling, reach out. You don’t need the perfect words; your presence and care are enough.
