Tonight we light a candle in memory of our friend John.

What a wonderful man, and the amazing tribute given today at Birches Crematorium & Remembrance Park Kate did you proud with your service and you got your Land Rover Defender Hearse Hire. One Life Lived It.

You were so loved John, your beautiful family, work family, and all who knew you turned out to give you the send of you deserve. Enjoy a Guinness up there, forever in our hearts. 💚 from all your friends at John Garside and Son Funeral Directors & Griffiths and Booth Funeral Service

What a amazing time we had at Congleton Pride yesterday, Saturday 19th July. We spoke with a lot of people including some that have used our service, some had questions and then the ministers and even the Town Mayor stopped by. It rained a little but it didn't stop those there having a great time. Thank you to Congleton Pride for looking after us and supplying the table and gazebo. We are grateful for the help off some of our colleagues from other branches, Liz and Becky. We of course cannot forget The Flower Gallery who supplied our lovely bright flowers and decorated our memory tree to brighten it up, you did an amazing job as always. We donated the flowers and a pack of biscuits to Park Lane Nursing Home in Congleton so that many more people could enjoy them.

We can't wait for next year so you might see us at a Makers Market and we're also planning to attend the Christmas Light Switch-On.....so keep your eyes peeled!!

The ladies in our Biddulph branch love animals. Normally any dog passing will be in for a fuss and occasional treat. Today they were taken by surprise with Charlie Bear the parrot passing and couldn't help themselves. It's always great to meet members of our community.

Today’s funeral from our Congleton branch was a show stopper! What a honour to take this gentleman on his final journey.
A courtage of horses & HGVs through the cobbles of sandbach was a sight to see.
Rest in peace sir 🖤

Today we had the pleasure of being joined by Onelife Livedit - Peter and his beautiful defender Dorothy, to take a very much loved and special Gentleman on his final journey.

It doesn’t always have to be the traditional hearse. Your funeral, your way.

Rest in peace sir 🖤
