✨ This lovely photo perfectly captures Michelle McDaid's vibrant approach to life—always living it to the fullest.

On Christmas Eve, we gathered to celebrate the incredible 57 years she packed so much into.

From her childhood on the east coast in Hull to settling in Fleetwood with her parents, Chris and Mick.

Michelle formed unbreakable bonds with her sister, Leanne, brother-in-law, Steve, and nieces, Lauren and Ellie.

Her greatest joy though came from her own children, Ryan and Charlotte, who touched us all by sharing a beautiful poem about her mother.

Michelle had a special love for children, especially during her time at Shakespeare School, where her warmth and spirit shone brightly.

We left the crematorium listening to ‘Stronger’ by Kelly Clarkson; which was chosen by Michelle as it was one of her favourite songs and she’d want her family and friends to remain strong.

Such an honour for me to conduct her funeral to a packed crematorium.

🤍 ⭐ 🎄 To help bereaved parents cope with the loss of a baby, we're providing memorial Christmas trees.

The trees have been placed in Fleetwood and Poulton cemeteries within our Baby Gardens of Remembrance and will be in place until Friday 9 January 2026. The bereavement services team have placed a star on the trees for each child and families are warmly invited to add their own decorations as a personal tribute.

Our grateful thanks goes to J P Dell Funeral Directors and J T Byrne Funeral Directors for their sponsorship.

Families are also invited to attend the 28th Annual Memorial Service, organised by Blackpool Victoria Hospital, which is being held at the Winter Gardens on Sunday 30th November at 3pm. This event is a service of reflection and music for all families who have experienced the loss of a baby, at any stage of pregnancy, no matter how long ago.
