We also offer Choice Funeral Plans which enable you to record your personal wishes and pay towards your funeral in advance, which could provide peace of mind to you and your family. If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us, or arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone.

If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking by Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Being proactive.

Grief can be isolating and it’s tempting to stay at home over the cold Christmas period. But it’s important to get yourself out of the house to prevent isolation. A winter walk for some fresh air could be a good way to relieve anxiety.

Focussing on the needs of others is a very rewarding experience and encourages you to engage with different people. For that reason, volunteering is a good way to help cope with grief. It also allows those who want to skip the festivities an opportunity to feel good during Christmas.

Grab you Christmas Jumper to help raise funds for good causes.

Grab your quirkiest, cosiest jumper and join schools, workplaces, and friends to spread cheer while supporting charities like Save the Children.

Wear it. Share it. Make a difference.

Traditions

Many of us practice annual Christmas traditions. When you’re grieving it may help to create new ones to honour the one you have lost. Eating their favourite meal, listening to their favourite song or visiting their final resting place are all good ways to continue to feel close to them during the festive season.

Alternatively, keeping up old traditions can bring comfort but don’t feel pressured to celebrate ‘as normal’. Take your time and do what feels right for you.

Writing a Christmas card to someone who’s grieving can be tough.

Many of us worry about finding the “right” words to say. Cruse Bereavement Support has created a helpful guide with tips, like:

• Avoid generic messages like ‘Happy/Merry Christmas’.
• Leave out any mention of their grief for the person they’ve lost.
• Acknowledge their loss by saying, ‘I know this year has been difficult, and this Christmas might feel different.’

For more guidance on what to say to those grieving this holiday season, visit: https://www.cruse.org.uk/christmas/what-to-say-at-christmas/

Let’s spread kindness and compassion this Christmas.

Elizabeth Way & Company Funeral Directors in Mossley proudly presented a Cheque for £1000.00 to Millbrook Primary and Nursery School in Carbrook, Stalybridge, from the Community Assistance Programme that has been running for the past two years and has given away a staggering total of £6000.00 to local charities.
The cash will be used to rennervate the secret garden adjacent to the school enabling the children to learn about plants and wildlife through play. Staff and parents of the school have already mapped out an area of the garden where a chicken coop will be built so that the children can take care of the chickens and a veg patch will be prepared ready for the spring.
The garden is a haven for local wildlife and a safe place for the children to play and learn. We cannot wait to return to the garden in late spring and summer to see the garden come to life with plants, flowers and of course chickens.
Presenting the cheque for £1000.00 to Sophie Davies, EYFS, Leeanne Frost, Beth Kenney, and Wendy Stanley, was Ben McCutcheon, Funeral Director at Elizabeth Way and overseen by Lady Victoria Peckem, the Elizabeth Way community mascot.

This month we will be exploring how to handle grief at Christmas.

Connecting with others.

People mourn in different sometimes conflicting ways. Talk with your friends and family about remembering your loved one in a way which suits everybody. Once you know how everyone feels it may be easier to move forward and celebrate Christmas.

Reminiscing on shared memories with others can help people connect during difficult times and might help bring happiness over the festive period.

Try not to bottle up your feelings and don’t feel ashamed to ask for help.

After the service.

Attend the wake if invited, it’s a chance to share memories and support the family. You don’t need to stay long; your presence is what matters.

Send a thoughtful message if you can’t attend, a handwritten note or message expressing sympathy will likely be appreciated.

Interacting with Others.

Offer condolences gently. A simple “I’m sorry for your loss” goes a long way. Avoid clichés or trying to fix grief, just be present.

Respect personal space. Some mourners may want quiet reflection. Be sensitive to emotional cues and avoid overwhelming anyone.

CT Hull Funeral Service Joins the Funeral Partners Family

We are pleased to formally welcome CT Hull Funeral Service of Poulton-le-Fylde into the Funeral Partners family of businesses.

Established in the 1950s by Tommy Hull, CT Hull Funeral Service has built a longstanding reputation for professionalism, compassion, and dedicated service to the local community. The business has remained a proud family enterprise, with Tommy’s son Chris Hull initially providing the continuity and now daughter Claire and son Chris continuing to play an active role in its day-to-day operations. Daughter Claire joined the business in 2005 and remains a key member of the team. Son Chris has also worked with The Football League and England team during his career along with the funeral business.

Over the years, Chris’s wife Catherine Hull has provided invaluable support, often being the first point of contact for families in need. The team also includes Rebecca, a trusted and experienced funeral director who shares the Hull family's commitment to delivering the highest standards of care.

In the coming months, CT Hull Funeral Service will be relocating to purpose-built premises in Poulton, designed to enhance the level of care and comfort provided to families. This move marks an exciting new chapter for the business, while preserving the values and traditions that have defined its service for generations.

We are honoured to support CT Hull Funeral Service as they continue to serve their community with integrity, compassion, and professionalism. We look forward to working in partnership with the Hull family and their team, ensuring that their legacy remains at the heart of everything they do.

Art in its finest form

The Friday Art Class was set up at the Mossley Community Centre in November 2024 by Christina Ellis and has already attracted 12 members, ranging from experienced to beginner.
The artists apply their creative imagination using acrylics but have not yet been able to use the very expensive water colours and oil paints.
Painting has many proven therapeutic benefits, like relaxation and stress reduction, it can enhance memory and concentration, allow the painter to express their emotions, and give a sense of achievement.
Elizabeth Way and Company Funeral Directors in Mossley have been running the Community Assistance Program for the past 18 months and so far, have given a grand total of £5000.00 to local charitable organisations in the Mossley and surrounding area and is now delighted to announce that a whopping £1000.00 has been handed over to Mossley Community Centre Friday Art Class.
The cash will be used to buy art supplies like paper, paints and brushes, including those expensive oil paints, which will add a new challenge to their artistic endeavours.
Accepting the cheque for £1000.00 are artists Glen Hammond, Lesley Bill and centre trustee Chris Frost.
The Friday Art Class will be holding an exhibition of their artwork with a date yet to be set, we will keep you posted when this will be and Elizabeth Way will be displaying copies of some of their work for everyone to enjoy, can’t wait!!

You can access Grief Chat for free via our MuchLoved page https://buff.ly/LYQFYWZ

Most people expect to be very upset or distressed when someone close to them has died. What takes many people by surprise is how strong the emotions can be, how they can change very quickly, and how long they last. People around you may seem to think you should be ‘back to normal’ after a few weeks or months. You might appear to be your usual self to other people, but you know that on the inside, you’re not even sure what normal is anymore.

Everyone grieves in a way that is unique to them and their relationship with the person who has died. Well-intentioned people may say to you, ‘Time is a great healer.’ Sometimes, however, it can seem that life is more difficult as the weeks and months go by.

We know that no-one can understand exactly what your loss feels like to you. But we do understand that it’s sometimes easier to talk to someone outside of your friends and family about grief and the impact of bereavement of your life. We want to improve your access to bereavement care and this is why we offer GriefChat's instant chat support.

GriefChat was created by bereavement experts and you can chat directly to a specially trained bereavement counsellor. GriefChat professional counsellors are experienced in supporting bereaved people and will listen to your story, explore how your grief is affecting you and help you to find any additional support you might need, including referral into other specialist bereavement services.

You can remain anonymous or provide your name, whichever you prefer. It is a completely free service and is available to you Monday to Friday, 9am-9pm or by email out of these hours.
