Fawcett and Hetherington Funeral Service

15/10/2025

Today we held an intimate service for a well loved lady, in our wheelchair friendly service chapel. This lady expressed to her family that she wanted a direct cremation but we helped the family to compromise with a personal service followed by a private direct cremation afterwards.

**Knitted hearts appeal**

We have a wonderful group called Eston knit and natter who kindly make us stuffed knitted hearts to go in our chapels of rest for people who have lost loved ones, we like to put pairs of them together so you and your loved will always have a token of love to keep forever.

However we seem to be going through these rather quickly at the moment so we were wondering if there are any budding knitters that would like to make and donate some more hearts for our chapels. We would be so grateful if anyone could make some and drop them into us. The pattern for them are below.

These little knitted soft hearts are very versatile.
