🎄Calling all Local Crafters And Creators!🌟

Organisation is underway as we approach our annual 'Light Of Love' memorial service in December. Please watch out as we will be sending out invitations in the coming week for everyone to join us.

Last year, we had beautiful decorations crafted by a local company as mementos for the service. As an independent business, we value the importance of supporting local and want to continue this tradition of supporting a local business while caring for our families.

We are searching for this year's special gift for the service and would love to hear from you if you think your product would be a perfect fit. Last years memento was a beautiful tree decoration in the shape of angel's wings, but we are open to any products so please get in touch at either;

There will never come a time,
When you are not within my mind. ❤️
Each sunrise brings a memory near,
Each sunset whispers you are here.

The empty bench, the quiet shore, 🌊
Reminds me what I long for more.
To sit with you, to laugh, to stay,
To share the words I meant to say.

No day will pass without the ache,
No night without the dreams I make. 💔
I see your face in clouds above,
I feel your touch in winds of love.

There will never be a day apart,
You live inside my beating heart.
The wish remains, forever true,
That I could still be next to you. 😢

❤️ Back by popular demand ❤️

You might recall that last year for remembrance day we redecorated our window display at our Gildersome office with our storyboard of how the funeral industry came together to assist with repatriating the unknown warrior.

At the time we had a lot of positive feedback as people stopped to read the story on our window, and because of this we have decided to bring it back for everyone who didn't get the chance to see it last year. We have even put everything in place a little earlier to allow plenty of time for people to take a look in the run up to remembrance day.

As we did last year, there will be printed copies of the story at both our Gildersome and Drighlington Offices. If you would like a copy to take away then feel free to call in while they last!

🕊️World Mental Health Day 2025🕊️

At Crabtree & Son, we understand that grief doesn’t come with a timetable — and that mental health is just as important as physical health, especially in times of loss.

On this World Mental Health Day, we want to extend our support and care to anyone going through emotional pain, anxiety, or grief. Whether you’re recently bereaved or still healing years later — you are not alone.

💚 Today’s reminder:
It’s okay to talk.
It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to ask for help.

If you or someone you care about is struggling, there is help and understanding out there — from friends, family, professionals, and bereavement support services.

Let’s look out for one another, today and always.

A dove ascends, so pure, so white, 🕊️
It carries love into the night.
Three roses rest where silence lies,
A symbol of eternal ties.

I’ll speak your name, I’ll tell your tale,
A love so strong will never fail.
Though time moves on, though seasons fade,
Your memory will not degrade.

I’ll keep you living in my song, 🎶
A story where you still belong.
Each word I say, each breath I take,
Is for the bond we cannot break.

You will be heard, you will be seen,
Within my life, where you have been.
You deserve more than silent years,
You deserve love, you deserve tears.

So I will speak, I will recall,
The love we shared, the loss, the fall.
Forevermore, my heart will prove,
That you are worthy of endless love. ❤️

Question Of The Day;

Do We Offer Direct Cremation Services?

Answer;

Yes, we do — and we believe in doing it *properly*.

Direct cremation has become a popular choice for families who want a simple, no-fuss goodbye. It's a dignified and respectful option without the traditional funeral service or ceremony. But not all direct cremation services are the same.

At Crabtree & Son, we’re proud to be an independent, family-run funeral directors. That means when you choose us, you're not dealing with a call centre or a faceless corporation. You're speaking directly with people who live and work in your community — people who genuinely care.

So, why choose an independent like us over a corporate provider?

🔹 Personal Service – We know every family is different, and we take the time to treat you as individuals, not just a number on a spreadsheet.

🔹 Transparency & Fair Pricing – No hidden fees, no upselling. Just honest advice and clear options that work for you.

🔹 Dignity & Care – Your loved one stays local, in trusted hands, not transported miles away to cut costs.

🔹 Support When You Need It – We're here for you before, during, and after — with real people you can talk to, face to face.

If you're considering a direct cremation or want to know more about the options available, we’re always here for a no-obligation chat.

📞 Call us anytime or send us a message here on Facebook.

Because even the simplest goodbye deserves to be handled with care.

September is Mental Health Awareness Month.

At Crabtree & Son, we see first-hand how grief affects mental health. It can affect us all extremely deeply, and in many different ways.

Whether you're coping with a recent loss or living with long-standing grief, we want you to know that your feelings are valid, and you are not alone!

As a local, family-run company, we’re not just here for the funeral service itself. we’re here to support you before, during, and after. That means listening, guiding, and connecting families with the right resources to help navigate the emotional road that follows loss.

The emotional journey of bereavement can be isolating, painful, and overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be walked alone. If a loss is weighing on you, or someone you care about, there are people and organisations ready to listen, support, and help heal.

💙 If you’re struggling
💬 If you need to talk
🌿 Or even just want to understand your options

We’re here, with compassion and care — always.
