Are there any local knitters that can help Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity

Update: Thank you to everyone who helped share this post or tagged friends and family! The response has been incredible and we are so grateful for all your support. 💕

Urgent request!

We are in urgent need of knitted squares for our Comfort Blankets Project. Our handmade blankets are given to patients on the ward, providing a little extra warmth and comfort during their stay. Size and stitches requirements are available in the Information Pack on our website: https://www.priscillabaconhospice.org.uk/comfort-blankets/
* We also suggest our Charity colours, but all colours are greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much to everyone who has recently donated squares and blankets! We are completely blown away by everyone's generosity. The blankets are practically flying out the door, so we are always looking for more! Thank you again for your wonderful support.💕

Like many within the funeral profession, we have been disgusted and deeply saddened to read about the actions of former Hull funeral director Robert Bush and the distress caused to so many families. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this appalling breach of trust.

At R B Copping Independent Funeral Service, we understand that placing your loved one into our care is one of the greatest acts of trust you will ever make. We never take that responsibility for granted.

As a long-established, independent family funeral director, every person entrusted to us is cared for with the dignity, respect and compassion they deserve from the moment they come into our care until the day of the funeral and beyond. We know every family, every life and every farewell is unique, and we are committed to providing the personal care and attention that your loved one deserves.

We are proud members of both the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and the National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF). Membership of these professional organisations reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care, professionalism, ethics and best practice within the funeral profession.

We also welcome the introduction of regulation within the funeral sector. We believe clear, consistent standards and appropriate oversight will help strengthen public confidence, support reputable funeral directors and, most importantly, provide families with the reassurance they deserve at one of the most difficult times in their lives.

We believe families should always feel able to ask questions, visit us, discuss our procedures and have complete confidence in the care we provide. Openness, honesty and professionalism are at the heart of everything we do.

For over 90 years, it has been our privilege to support families through some of life's most difficult moments, and we remain committed to providing the highest standards of care with compassion, integrity and respect.

❤️ If you have any questions about the care we provide, or simply want reassurance about the funeral process, our door is always open.

Emma, James and the Copping team.

SAIF has responded following the sentencing of Robert Bush at Hull Crown Court. Bush was sentenced to twenty years after pleading guilty to 67 offences connected with his operation of Legacy Independent Funeral Directors. In his sentencing remarks, Mr Justice Hilliard said: “No sentence I pass can...

Today, on Father's Day, we take a moment to remember and honour the dads who are no longer with us.

Though they may be gone from our sight, their love, guidance, strength, and memories remain with us every day. Their lessons live on in the choices we make, their laughter echoes in our hearts, and their legacy continues through the lives they touched.

To everyone missing their dad today, know that you're not alone. May we cherish the memories, celebrate the love they gave, and keep their spirit alive in our hearts.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers watching over us from above. 💙🕯

This very misleading TV advert has now been banned.

If you are looking for a direct cremation please come and talk to your local independent funeral director, chances are we are cheaper, your loved one is cared for in local premises and generally you are able to visit the chapel of rest, instead of being taken hundreds of miles away, not knowing where they are and never able to say a final goodbye.

A funeral is all about choice, we can talk you through all the different options available to you.

We are here for the local community 24/7.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require advice.

Pure Cremation’s advert has been pulled be regulators for claiming an attended funeral service was part of its standard plan

We would like to thank everyone who donated to this fantastic cause, as a company we raised over £1000.00 which is amazing. The total amount raised by the charity was over £4000.00.
Big thanks to all who helped to raise so much money.
