Office Glow-Up Alert!

Massive shoutout to two absolute legends:
Gareth Jones, our Operations Manager, and David “Maintenance Mon” Shaw, the DIY wizard with a toolbox and a dream!

Over the last few weeks, these two have worked harder than a kettle on brew round duty, transforming our head office in Pemberton from “before” to “WOW!”

They’ve painted, fixed, lifted, shifted and probably questioned their life choices at least twice… but the result is incredible!

⭐ New space = new energy
⭐ New energy = big goals
⭐ Big goals = WATCH THIS SPACE!

Thank you both for your dedication, graft and sense of humour through it all. You’ve not just renovated an office—you’ve built a space we’re proud to grow in.

Also a massive thank you to the following companies for their help along the way

Milliken, Wigan.

Feeling Proud Moment!

We just have to take a moment to brag on our amazing fleet team – because WOW, they do an incredible job!

We are constantly receiving lovely comments from clients telling us how clean, shiny, and professional our vehicles look. It makes us so proud to hear that our fleet really stands out from the crowd wherever they go!

A huge thank you to everyone who works hard to keep our vehicles in top condition – your attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed.

Here’s to maintaining high standards, turning heads on the road, and delivering excellence every mile of the way!

Tonight, we came together across the world for Wave of Light, a poignant moment of unity and remembrance during Baby Loss Awareness.

At 7pm, we lit candles in honour of the little lives gone too soon—those we held, those we dreamed of, and those we still carried in our hearts. Each flame represented love, grief, hope, and the unbreakable bond between parent and child. Even when the silence felt overwhelming, tonight reminded us that we were not alone.

To every parent and family who experienced loss—your love mattered, your story mattered, and your baby’s life mattered.
We spoke their names. We remembered their light. We stood together in compassion and solidarity.

May this wave of light have illuminated the darkness and brought comfort to all who mourned.

Meet Ellie!

She joined our Hindley branch almost 3 years ago “because the hours looked good” (her words)… and now she’s absolutely smashing it!

One of our youngest team members

Making a BIG impact at R Banks

Currently studying for her Certificate in Funeral Arranging & Administration

Growing in confidence and skill every single day

When she’s not being a superstar at work, she’s being supermum to the gorgeous George – her whole world!

Always up for a chat, always friendly, always genuine.
From “I’ll give it a go” to “Watch me grow” – Ellie proves that sometimes the best journeys start on a whim.

Keep shining, Ellie – the sky’s the limit!

We were honoured to have the Everton Hearse at a service this week.

A truly unique send-off for the ultimate Everton fan.

What a special way to show passion for the club!
