Not the way most are used to seeing me (and I don’t mean up and out at 7.30am on a Saturday 😅)… but this morning was so good for the soul ✨

Two years since Alfie received his qualification… where does the time go?! We continue to be very proud and grateful to have you by our side.

Alfie Darley, still the youngest funeral director in York 💜 (for now ☺️)

Becoming a funeral director at 18 myself I love to see young people choosing to join the profession, I wonder who will come along in the next few years and take your title 👀🥰

So much love and pride for Alfie Darley, as of today a qualified funeral director 🎩🥰🖤

I know how much work you’ve put in to this Alfie, you brighten the most difficult of days and I’m so proud to have you by my side.

Huge thanks to Chris Willin at Hit Training & Connect 2 Care for your constant support and understanding of our treasured family business. We couldn’t have done it without you 👨🏻‍🎓

Today can bring many different emotions.

On Mother’s Day we often celebrate the wonderful mums around us, but it can also be a tender day for those who are remembering someone they’ve lost. Mothers who are apart from their children, those longing to be mothers, and the many women who support and care for others in quiet but meaningful ways.

Today I’m thinking of all of you.
Those who are loved, those who are missed, and those carrying stories that aren’t always seen.

Be gentle with yourself today 🩷🕯️

🌟 A snapshot of our 2025 🌟

Alfie turned 21 🥳

Much needed freshen up in the funeral home 🎨

We did manage a Christmas do… in August 🧑‍🎄

Another niece 🩷

The furthest distance travelled for a family saw me and Alfie on a day trip to Slough, on the hottest day of the year with no air con 😅

… which inspired a little upgrade to the fleet 🖤

Meeting some of the loveliest people, who never fail to amaze me with their kindness at such a difficult time in their lives.

Thank you to all of you 🥰

Wishing you all a healthy and happy 2026, however that looks for you.

With love and gratitude, from our family to yours x

Today was the final drop of memory hearts for the Friends of Huntington Cemetery -New Lane’s Christmas Trees 🎄🤍

The box was very full at 4pm today but they have been going fast so I’m sorry if you do miss the opportunity. You’re all very welcome to bring your own decorations along.

Around 830 hearts have been donated this year between us and the friends of the cemetery! It’s a wonder the trees are holding onto their branches 🥰

Huge thanks again to Earswick Christmas Trees for their kind donation.

Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas, however that looks this year ❤️

One week to go until this years Christmas Remembrance Service 🕯️🎄

We’ve had so many people get in touch this year 🤍

All Saints is a big church with plenty of seating but spaces in the car park are limited. For those who are able to walk there is ample on street parking along The Old Village at the top of Church Lane.

If we can try to keep the car park spaces for those who need them most it would be much appreciated 🥰

If you haven’t dedicated a candle yet you can do so by emailing reception@darleyfunerals.co.uk or calling 01904622746.

We will be taking last minute dedications on the door too 🕯️

The candle lighting will take place during the service. Refreshments will be served afterwards in the church hall ☕️🍷🥧 🍪

We’re looking forward to seeing you all 🤍
