Gone Riding by David Ritter

Don't cry for me,
I still ride free,
with the wind upon my face,
leather in black,
the sun on my back,
a priceless gift of God's grace .

I'll never grow old, on these streets of gold.
chasing a majestic sunset,
and I still recall, how I love you all,
sweet memories I won't forget.

And when your road ends,
we'll meet again, inside the Pearly Gates.
and we'll laugh awhile and go ride for miles,
but for now,
Heaven can wait.

When you do get here,
don't shed one tear,
and think that I'm in hiding.
Just search Heaven's shore, where engines roar,
and you'll find that I've gone riding

Every Goodbye is Unique

When it comes to saying farewell, there is no “one size fits all.” Families today have many meaningful options when planning a funeral or memorial:

✨ Traditional Funeral Services – A time-honored way to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived.

✨ Cremation Services – Can be combined with a ceremony or kept simple, offering flexibility for families.

✨ Celebrations of Life – A more personal and uplifting tribute, often centered around sharing memories, stories, and favorite things.

✨ Green & Eco-Friendly Funerals – An environmentally conscious choice, focusing on simplicity and sustainability.

No matter what feels right for you and your loved ones, our role is to provide guidance, compassion, and support every step of the way.

Because every life deserves to be honored in a way that feels personal.

Remember by Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:

Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

One of our colleagues, based in Scarborough, will be swimming the Humber in aid of Humber Rescue on 24th August 2025 (weather permitting). This is quite an amazing feat, considering how treacherous this stretch of water is. If anyone is able to sponsor Adam, even if it is just £1, it would be so greatly appreciated.

Humber Rescue is an independent lifeboat charity, which is not part of the RNLI, providing 24/7 emergency response across the Humber Estuary. Operated completely by volunteers, they save lives on the Humber Estuary.

Thank you 🙏

🌼 DIRECT CREMATIONS 🌼
Opting for a larger corporate company for direct cremations may result in uncertainty regarding the location and date of the cremation. In contrast, selecting a local independent funeral director guarantees a more personalised experience.

Should you opt for a direct cremation, our team guarantees a compassionate and professional service, ensuring that your loved one receives the dignified farewell they deserve. Rest assured that we will look after your loved one with the highest level of care, reflecting the same commitment we provide in all aspects of our service.

For All the Fathers — Then and Now

To the fathers who came before,
With calloused hands and hearts so sure,
Who lit the path with quiet grace,
And left their mark on time and place.

To those whose laughter filled our youth,
Who taught us strength, and love, and truth.
Though some now rest, their spirits stay,
In every word we dare to say.

To fathers walking with us still,
With patient heart and steady will,
Who rise to meet each passing day,
And lead with love in every way.

To new dads learning as they go,
Who hold their child and softly grow.
Your courage shines, your efforts bloom,
In every bedtime story’s tune.

For every hug, for every cheer,
For all you’ve done year after year—
We honor you, both gone and near,
With grateful hearts and joyful tears.

Happy Father’s Day.

12/06/2025

Father's Day can be a difficult day for all sorts of reasons. If you would like time and space to reflect in a space where it is ok to not be ok, we will be holding a service at Haltemprice Crematorium on Sunday 15th June at 10.30am.
Please contact me directly if you would like any further information.
