Our Letters to Heaven post box is placed outside George Lightfoots Funeral Directors a quiet spot where you can leave your notes, drawings and messages whenever you wish, to send your love to heaven.
Father’s Day can feel so different when the ones we love are no longer walking beside us. There’s an empty space where their voice, their laugh or their quiet comfort used to be but love never truly ends, and memories never fade. 💌
Writing letters to heaven is such a precious way to stay close. You might write to say thank you for lessons taught and moments shared; tell them what’s been happening since they left; ask the questions you still wish you could ask; or simply whisper “I miss you, every single day.” These letters don’t need perfect words or fancy paper they only need to come straight from your heart.Today we hold space for every kind of father figure: dads, grandads, step‑dads, foster dads, uncles, mentors and friends who loved and guided us like fathers. Whether you lost them recently or years ago, your remembering honours them still.
🕊️ A quiet thought & prayer
“May the wind carry our words upward, may the stars hold our memories safe. Wherever you are, know you are loved beyond measure, today and always. Walk softly in peace; we will keep walking in love until we meet again.”

At George Lightfoot Funeral Directors, we believe that a final journey should be as unique as the person who lived it. As the late Rev. Paul Sinclair said: "No one places an Everton fan in a Liverpool strip when they die, so why should a motorcycle enthusiast be last seen in an automobile?"

We are proud to partner with Motorcycle Funerals Ltd to provide a fleet that truly reflects the biker lifestyle. From the legendary Suzuki Hayabusa to the classic Triumph Bonneville and even Britain’s first full-length Trike hearse, we ensure that those who loved the open road can have the send-off they truly deserve.

Whatever the weather, these professional hearses keep your loved one and their floral tributes fully protected while providing a stunning, dignified tribute.

LETTERS TO HEAVEN POST BOX.
GEORGE LIGHTFOOT FUNERAL DIRECTORS are proud to introduce our letters to heaven post box a special place created with love, comfort and rememberance in mind for our whole community. This post box has been thoughtfully set up for anyone who wishes to send letters and cards to loved ones who are no longer with us. For many people writing to someone they miss can be a powerful and healing way to express feelings or simply say the words they still hold in their hearts.
It has been inspired by those moments when cards and letters are placed on graves and are blown away. Instead of those heart felt messages being lost this post box offers a safe meaningful place where they can be symbolically sent off.
The post box will help children who are coping with loss. Writing or drawing messages can be a gentle comforting way for them to express their emotions. It creates a positive reassuring space for them to stay connected to the person they have lost.
