Last week we came across these - 'popular fieldcap mushrooms' 🍄

What is symbolic about a mushroom? 🍄

They are often associated with spiritual growth, enlightenment, and rebirth. The mushroom's life cycle, with its ability to emerge from darkness and decay, represents the cyclical nature of life, death, and transformation 🤍

The weather seems to have picked up today as we await the arrival of an ashes burial this afternoon.

With this wet and wild weather today, we've had to cancel an appointment with a family 😔
This isn't something we normally do as we aim to be as flexible as possible when carrying out services.
This family have been very accommodating and rearranged for tomorrow instead, to bury the ashes of their beloved parents - Thank you 😊

With our appointments being flexible throughout the week, we would like to remind families that we can only offer weekend services on a Saturday morning ONLY and this must be booked in with us.

With this in mind we were here over the weekend to inter the ashes of Susan and Mark 🩷🩵
We have received this lovely email this morning from their family.
We'd like to thank them for allowing us to share this special photograph 😊

Late on Friday afternoon was when Louise arrived 🩷

Howcrofts Funeral Services brought her on her final journey.
Humanist Celebrant, Jenny Coleman led the service at Waltonwrays Chapel before saying the closing words at the graveside.

After a morning of heavy showers and grey, dark clouds the skies turned blue with the brightest sunshine as her family and friends gathered to say farewell 💔

Special thanks to Team Blades for their superb grave preparation.

We wanted to politely remind all families that tree planting is NOT PERMITTED without permission and also during the right season.
We ONLY plant trees from November through to March.

We have added some information on the notice board as you enter from Bloom.

Unfortunately, we have found there has been some unauthorised tree planting happening.
We really must stress that this CANNOT be carried out without our permission.

Any tree that is found to be unauthorised or not native, we have the right to remove it.

The exact location of trees and grave plots are very important and one of the many reasons we must be contacted first to make an appointment if we agree to carrying this activity out.

Access for Team Blades to dig graves is another factor and we don't want to have to remove or damage trees if they become an obstacle.

Also, we provide the equipment needed such as correct tree guards, etc so that they all comply with all the terms and conditions of Tarn Moor and the Estate rules.

Another reason is that while the glorious summer weather was here, it's simply not the right conditions for trees as the soil may be too dry and it's impossible to physically water young trees during these times. There are still hosepipe bans 🚫 active in this area.

Please do speak with us if you require any information.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Twenty four years later, we still remember where we were on September 11, 2001 😔

We not only honor the lives lost, but to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and unity that followed🇺🇲

Patriot Day is a solemn observance in the United States, held annually on September 11th to honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 victims who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks 🇺🇲

The day also recognizes the courage and sacrifice of the first responders, as well as the resilience of the American people in the face of such a tragedy. Patriot Day is a time for reflection, remembrance, and unity, as the nation comes together to remember those who were lost and to honor those who continue to serve and protect💪🏻🇺🇲❤️🩵🤍

😔😔

🤍 As you go to bed tonight do so without taking life for granted as tomorrow is never promised.
On this evening 24 years ago 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people who went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for their morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for their morning shifts. None of them saw past 10:00am Sept 11, 2001.
It serves to remind us that in one single moment life may never be the same.
As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, hold the ones you love, snuggle them a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

💛

This is the family of a much loved pet ❤️

Yesterday, they came to lay their beloved dog, Jess to rest after a long illness 🐾

Pets can be much loved family members and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect when they die.

Tarn Moor Memorial has a designated area for pets and companions to be buried near the main burial ground areas, and the name of your pet can be carved onto a special stone nearby which is right next to our wildlife pond.

We offer a dignified and discreet burial service and we welcome any enquiries from veterinary surgeries.

It is also possible to coordinate cremation of your pet, if you prefer to scatter or bury the ashes.
Craven Pet Crematorium offer a great service 🐾

Please feel free to discuss your requirements with us.

Thank you Team Blades for the grave preparation.

Thank you for your patience whilst the new benches are put in place.
As well as replacing the existing ones, we have added a new bench at the lower section of the field.

These are all handmade by Chris.
This particular bench is actually based on a vintage tram bench with a reversible back to flip the seating direction, depending on which way you want to sit.

We will eventually be replacing all of the benches in due course, so we appreciate your patience during this time consuming task.

Just a note that we are not making all of the new benches reversible. There will be some standard ones too.

Please do speak with us regarding any information.

Thank you 😊
