When someone we care about is grieving, it can be difficult to know what to say or do.
•
The days and weeks after a funeral can be incredibly quiet, and sometimes that’s when someone feels the loss most deeply.
•
Check in, even when some time has passed. Let them talk about the person they’ve lost and remember the moments that made them smile.
•
You can’t take away their pain, but your kindness, time and presence can remind them they don’t have to carry it alone 💞

Memories are the seeds they leave behind 🌱
•
Their favourite saying,
The sound of their laugh,
A story that only they could tell, Their nickname for you.
•
By telling others about your loved one, sharing photographs, telling their stories and allowing yourself to remember — even when remembering brings both tears and smiles, you are watering those seeds 🌿 💚

Earlier this week, we were invited to visit North West Air Ambulance Charity at Blackpool Airport.
🚁
Learning first-hand about the team who operate the 3 helicopters and 4 critical care cars, meeting the in memory team and finding out about where we send your donations was really informative and very moving.
🚁
Receiving no NHS or government funding, the charity is entirely reliant on public donations and must raise over £18 million per year to remain in operation.
Choosing donations in memory of your loved one ensures that their legacy keeps flying across the North West, 365 days a year 💛

Save the date 🕯💙🩷

We are honoured to host our first
Wave of Light event at St Peter & St Paul's Parish Church Rishton on Thursday 15th October at 6.30pm.

The Wave of Light is a special, global event to remember babies who have sadly died during pregnancy or infancy.
💙
At 7pm, candles will be lit around the world, creating a beautiful wave of light in memory of these precious little lives and in support of the families who carry their memories with them.
🩷
As each candle shines, we remember the love that will never fade. Whether you have experienced baby loss yourself, are supporting someone who has, or simply wish to stand with families in remembrance, you are warmly invited to join us for this evening of remembrance.
Every baby remembered.
Never forgotten. ✨️🕯️

As a Funeral Director for Rishton Funeral Services, I work alongside Lisa. I meet the familes on the day of the funeral as they remember their loved one.
•
After more than a decade in the profession, I remain just as committed to the families I serve.
•
As an Area Manager, I’m proud to lead a team who share that same commitment and whose priority is treating someone’s loved one as they would want their own family member to be treated 🎩❤️

I never really knew how much this role would become a part of me.

I’ve met many families over the years, heard many stories and shared some heartbreaking moments with people.

There have been tears and laughter, and plenty of times that have stayed with me long after the funeral was over.

For me, it’s never just been about arranging a funeral. It’s about getting to know the person who has died, listening to their family and making sure everything is right on the day.

I feel incredibly lucky that people trust me at such an important and difficult time in their lives 🙏

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay ❤️‍🩹

• You don’t have to smile when you feel like crying.
• You don’t have to find the right words.
• And you certainly don’t have to have “moved on” just because the funeral is over.

The days and weeks after saying goodbye can be incredibly difficult. The house will feel quieter. Ordinary moments can suddenly bring tears.

If today is a difficult day, let it be a difficult day. If tomorrow feels a little lighter, that’s okay too.
And if you’re struggling, please don’t feel that you have to carry it all by yourself.

Call in for a brew ☕️
Sometimes, having someone else listen can make things feel a little less lonely 🫂

🚘Transport Tuesday | Motoring heritage on our local roads… 🇬🇧

🩶 For 30 years, our Silver Dawn Hearse and Silver Spirit Limousine have represented traditional craftsmanship, and the presence that has long been associated with Rolls-Royce

We know that every family is different, but for some, choosing a traditional British funeral car can reflect the character, style and individuality of someone deeply loved ❤️
