Murray’s Funeral Directors have launched a community allotment where people who have experienced grief can get together and enjoy the simple pleasures of gardening.

Thyme to Grow – a dedicated plot at the Thorntree Lane Allotments in Swadlincote is open to anyone looking to reconnect with nature, share peaceful moments, and enjoy discovering what can be grown.

Funeral Director Megan Smart who is leading the project said : “Sometimes families that we have looked after can feel lost following the funeral of their loved one, and we thought this might be a nice way to gently introduce something new to their week, where some focus can be placed".

Box Bros. Joins Funeral Partners

We are honoured to welcome Box Bros, a respected name in Blackpool for over a century, into the Funeral Partners family.

Founded in 1915 by Thomas Edwin Box, the business began in transport before expanding into funerals in the 1920s. Under the guidance of his grandson, Trevor Box, Box Bros. became known for pioneering services, including private ambulances and worldwide repatriation—hallmarks of their dedication to innovation and care.

Trevor’s commitment to the community helped shape the values of the business for decades. Trevor’s daughter Susan and her husband Peter chose to partner with Funeral Partners to secure the future of the company while protecting the legacy her father worked so hard to build.

Susan and Peter have decided to step back from the day-to-day business, handing the reigns to, new Diary and Logistics Manager David Potts and Funeral Manager Andrew Whitaker who have been recruited to lead the Box Bros going forwards, working alongside long-serving Office Manager Kim Bonar and the rest of the team.

David and Andrew previously worked together at Layton Funeral Directors a business which was set up by David’s father Mick and already have a wonderful relationship with the Box Bros team for many years.

Andrew has spent nearly two decades working in the funeral industry locally, and most recently ran his own business, while David worked closely with his father from a very young age, starting permanently in 1990.

The Box Bros. funeral homes in Blackpool and Poulton le Fylde will continue to serve local families with the same trusted team, compassion, and integrity as always.

We are proud to support and carry forward the remarkable legacy of the Box family in the Northwest.

A new defibrillator has been installed at M. Rushton Funeral Directors in Southport, in loving memory of Trevor Christian — a much-loved husband and father.

Trevor’s family, who were cared for by the team during a difficult time, kindly raised the funds for this life-saving device. A commemorative plaque has also been placed to celebrate Trevor’s life.

The defibrillator was installed by local charity Southport Saviours, who also provided the team training to ensure they’re fully prepared to use it in an emergency.

Michael Rushton, Business Principal, expressed how it was a privilege to house the device and emphasised the importance of being ready to help in critical moments.

This thoughtful gift not only honours Trevor’s memory but will also serve the wider community for years to come. 💜
