Today was the final drop of memory hearts for the Friends of Huntington Cemetery -New Lane’s Christmas Trees 🎄🤍

The box was very full at 4pm today but they have been going fast so I’m sorry if you do miss the opportunity. You’re all very welcome to bring your own decorations along.

Around 830 hearts have been donated this year between us and the friends of the cemetery! It’s a wonder the trees are holding onto their branches 🥰

Huge thanks again to Earswick Christmas Trees for their kind donation.

Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas, however that looks this year ❤️

One week to go until this years Christmas Remembrance Service 🕯️🎄

We’ve had so many people get in touch this year 🤍

All Saints is a big church with plenty of seating but spaces in the car park are limited. For those who are able to walk there is ample on street parking along The Old Village at the top of Church Lane.

If we can try to keep the car park spaces for those who need them most it would be much appreciated 🥰

If you haven’t dedicated a candle yet you can do so by emailing reception@darleyfunerals.co.uk or calling 01904622746.

We will be taking last minute dedications on the door too 🕯️

The candle lighting will take place during the service. Refreshments will be served afterwards in the church hall ☕️🍷🥧 🍪

We’re looking forward to seeing you all 🤍

We’ve given the funeral home a much needed freshen up recently and as we put everything back in place we sat and read every card that we’ve received.

Almost 7 years of love and heartfelt messages brought back so many memories of the amazing families we’ve had the honour of getting to know 🩷

It will be 7 years on Monday since we received the keys to Highthorn Road… I don’t know where the time goes!

Ey up it’s Yorkshire Day… it’s about time they added a white rose emoji to the offering!

I’ve been quiet on here over the last few months. Sadly, it’s been a very busy time for us but I couldn’t let Yorkshire Day pass us by without a mention. So I’ll share this beautiful poem from Doreen Brigham to honour it 🤍

Sing a song of Yorkshire, from the Humber to the Tees.
Of horses, wool and terriers, of pudding and of cheese.
I know no other county where the land is quite so fine.
England’s lovely county. And I’m proud to call it mine.

Where shining purple heather stretches far across the moor,
and the lapwing’s cry above me takes the place of traffic roar.
And peace comes drifting gently, there’s no place I’d rather be
than this land of hills and valleys, from the Pennines to the sea.

So when I’ve done my roaming, and when my step grows slow;
when heart and mind assure me that the time has come to go,
then let me rest in Yorkshire, for it’s there I want to lie
‘neath sun and wind and heather… and a gleaming Yorkshire sky.
