National funeral director day 🖤

11/03/2026

I feel so blessed to have been chosen to look after Gary after he sadly passed away in East Lancs Hospice.

His family are honestly the most kindhearted beautiful souls I’ve ever encountered and the bond we built in their sad time, I feel, will last forever.

He absolutely loved Man City so I sat with him and shared my own dad’s love for the same team and showed him the records my dad kept of the games played from around 1983!

After the funeral I was provided with some of the funeral flowers and I took a small portion of his ashes so I could create these memorial pieces for his lovely family.

I handed them over yesterday and they’re over the (blue) moon with them.

Thank you for choosing me and thank you for letting me create these for you. 💙

36 years since you were taking from us! 36!

I’ve outlived my own dad by nearly 12 years. He was only 30 years old.

It’s so wrong. I’m all kinds of mad and upset today. But, I push on and continue doing what I’m doing.

Hope you’re really proud when you look down at me. I try my best every day. I face a lot of hurdles and come up against a lot of people who, for some reason, want to ruin me and what I’ve built but I fight on. All for you dad.

Sending lots of love and kisses to you today 💙

I have a lot of new followers so I wanted to share the reason behind the business and why it means so much to me.

3 years ago today the case became live again and all my appeals were released on the BBC and ITV.

Having a very public business and phone number quite often leads to me receiving prank calls. I can always tell they’re pranks because it’s usually kids in a group with their friends laughing in the background and they say some ridiculous things. They clearly don’t think their actions through because they never hide their phone number.

I usually just hang up and forget about it. However, yesterday afternoon I received a call from an “unknown number” so someone had gone to the effort of withholding it. It was, in my opinion, a young woman who sounded very distressed and upset. I think she told me her name was Shabina but it was difficult to make much sense of due to, what sounded like, her hysterically crying.

She asked if this was a funeral service and then went on to tell me she had had an argument with her friend and then she had thrown them off of a bridge. She didn’t say what area or give any details of the friend.

I honestly couldn’t decipher this from prank or reality (so if it was a prank then your acting skills are phenomenal).

Anyway, it was on my mind enough to ring the police and inform them of the phone call - I couldn’t bear the thought of not ringing it in and then later finding out that this was in fact true.

The point of this post is - prank calls are quite frankly ridiculous. It’s something I deal with often.

Please, check on friends and if you know anyone who was upset yesterday talk to them about why. Also, please speak with your children and help them to understand that this sort of thing isn’t acceptable and where I am unsure if it’s a prank or not I will inform the police which could lead to them getting into trouble.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

URGENT FUNERAL PROCESSION UPDATE.

Unfortunately due to distance, hills and weather the decision has been made to set off with Ellis and the horses from KC Funeral Service on Bridge Street rather than from Limes Avenue.

Anyone who would’ve been leaving from Andrea’s is welcome to come to Bridge Street and follow from there.

I’m sincerely sorry for the last minute change of plan but ultimately the safety for the horses and Ellis has to be top priority and this is the best for all.

Thank you
