It was our utter pleasure to deliver these gift boxes to the Coronary Care Unit at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary.
These contained everything from colouring books to jigsaws and everything else in-between.
They asked, we delivered.
Always nice to give something back.

Well done 👏 ✔️

The number 13 is unlucky for some - but not for the Tics! 😮‍💨

👏 In another dominant display from Danielle Young’s side, Latics comfortably defeated Blackburn Eagles following goals from Jess Cooke, Ellie Cleary (3), Holly Mason (3), Izzy Worswick (2), Molly Hassall (2) and Emily Firman (2)!

** Pinched from a fellow funeral director....had to repost **

Sadly this is so heartbreakingly true 💔 Just lately we are having more and more drivers on the roads being impatient and trying to push in on the Funeral Cortège’s in between the Hearse and the Limousines with bereaved family members in, and even on funerals with our horses too.

This is happening to the point where accidents have nearly been caused because someone just wants to cut in or to cut through.

I appreciate we drive slower, but this is someone’s final journey, and this is done out of respect.

Whether this makes you 30 seconds, one minute or two minutes late for where you need to be, think about that person who has passed and the families that are following.

A final journey is so precious

Could I ask everyone for some help at this very difficult time....

Paying Our Respects

If you see a hearse, could you stop, stand for a moment as it passes, perhaps take off your cap, and bow your head?

we wondered if we could revive an old tradition that would show people that their loss is noticed and shared by us all?

It would mean the world to families in a time of sadness.

Please if you see a hearse at a junction please stop and allow some of the following cars to also exit the junction. On most cases this is the family behind following the hearse.

It only makes your Journey slightly longer but means the world to families in sure different times. Thank You

🌹 Funeral Groom / Horse Assistant Wanted – Horse-Drawn Carriages North West Ltd 🌹

I honestly didn’t think I’d be posting this again, but I’ve been let down once more — and I’ll be honest, it’s really starting to wear me down. I pour everything into this business and my horses, and it’s exhausting when people say they’re interested, I give them my time, and then they don’t turn up, don’t send the information I ask for, or just disappear without a word.

Please — if you’re not genuinely committed, don’t apply. This isn’t just a job; it’s something meaningful. You’ll be helping to prepare and groom our beautiful horses for funerals, taking pride in making every turnout perfect for the families we serve.

Every year it’s the same — people are happy to work through the summer months, but when winter comes and it’s dark, cold and raining, they vanish. Unfortunately, the work doesn’t stop when the weather turns. The horses still need caring for, and the funerals still go ahead — rain or shine.

So if you’re not frightened of the wind, the rain, or the dark, and you’re truly reliable, compassionate, and confident around large horses, then I’d love to hear from you. Reliability is everything in this role.

I’m running this business single-handedly and I can’t keep interviewing people who aren’t serious. Please only apply if you really mean it.

📍 Based in Mere Brow (near Southport / Tarleton area)
🕊️ Part-time / Casual / When needed
💷 Pay depending on experience

If you’re truly committed, care about horses, and want to be part of something special, please message the page or text Kyla on 07923800404

Thank you for understanding — it’s not easy doing this alone.
Maybe this time, the right person will finally see this post. ❤️🐴
