📍 H. Goodwin Funeralcare – Newcastle-under-Lyme

🌺 Thank You to Our Wonderful Community! 🌺

We’re deeply grateful for the incredible support and donations from our local community, which helped us create a truly standout Remembrance Day display.

This year, we’ve used 957 handmade items, lovingly knitted, crocheted, and crafted from recycled plastic bottles, to commemorate those we remember. Your generosity and creativity have made this tribute both meaningful and beautiful.

Please stop by and take a look, it’s a reflection of the care and spirit of everyone involved. ❤️

🌺 Sneak Peek: Community Poppy Drape 🌺
Here’s a first look at just one part of the three-section Poppy Drape we’re creating for display at H Goodwin Funeralcare on the A34. Together, these sections will form a **cascading tribute** to remembrance, made entirely from community-donated poppies.

Each poppy has been handmade with love – knitted, crocheted, felted, or crafted from recycled plastic bottles – and every one adds to the beauty and meaning of this display.

🎯 We currently have 887 poppies towards our goal of 1,200, so if you’d like to contribute, donations are still very welcome at your local Co-op Funeralcare branch.

💌 A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far, your creativity and kindness are helping us build something truly special.

Stay tuned for the full reveal of the cascading display soon… 👀

Did you catch our Funeralcare colleague Edward on ITV Tonight last week? 👀📺

In the episode on sorting your affairs, Edward from Pontefract Funeralcare shared his experience of taking out a funeral plan at just 20 years old. You can watch it back here (Edward appears from 18 mins in!) ➡️ https://www.itv.com/watch/tonight/1a2803/1a2803a9481.

Getting our affairs in order can be a daunting task - Paul Brand investigates some of the important things to sort and finds out what can happen when we don't.

Christmas can be especially difficult when you’ve been through a bereavement. It’s a time of year where families and friends come together, which can make us miss the people who have died even more.

This year we are holding our free memorial service at a local award winning events space , The Old Chapel in Etruria. It takes place on Sunday 8th December 15:30 - 16:15 plus we will have small refreshments after the service for anyone that wishes to stay.

To book your seat please contact your nearest funeralcare branch and let us know how many you want to reserve or email frlburslem@coop.co.uk with your name and how many seats with 'Christmas service' in the subject line
