Today we said farewell to Barbara Wood, known to her family and friends simply as Barb.

Barb was a much-loved wife, mum, grandma and great-grandma, and very much at the heart of her family. She was known for her straight-talking nature, wicked sense of humour and mischievous spirit, as well as her love of music, animals, family gatherings and a good bargain!

Her family shared many wonderful memories, from dancing and holidays to noisy New Year’s Eve celebrations, and all the little moments that made Barb so special.

She will be deeply missed, but the laughter, stories and memories she leaves behind will keep her very much part of the lives of all those who knew and loved her.

Forever loved, fondly remembered and simply unforgettable. ❤️

Despite the heavy downpour, there was an amazing turnout today to celebrate the life of Barbara Ann Pass – Barb.
It was a beautiful reflection of just how loved and adored she was, with family and friends coming together to remember the matriarch at the heart of their family.

Barb was one of a kind – a devoted mum, nana, great-nana and wife, with a wonderful sense of humour and a talent for creating laughter wherever she went. Today was filled with love, smiles and some wonderful stories that brought her personality to life.

It was a privilege to lead such a personal and heartfelt farewell for a very special lady.

And, fittingly, we ended with Barb's favourite song, Long After Tonight Is All Over – the song she proudly declared was “the best song in the world ever.” 🎶

Thinking of Paul, Jimmy, Ange and all of Barb's family and friends. ❤️

Today we had the privilege of supporting the family and friends of Frank Lear as they said their final farewell.

Frank had a lifelong love of motorcycles, so it was incredibly fitting that his friends rode alongside him on their bikes as they accompanied him on his final journey to the chapel. It was a truly personal and poignant tribute to a man who loved his bikes and the freedom they brought.

Frank was also a devoted husband, dad and grandad, remembered for his dry sense of humour, his stories and the love he had for his family.

Today’s service was filled with love, laughter and memories - a fitting farewell to Frank.

Our thoughts are with Sue and all of Frank’s family and friends.

Rest peacefully, Frank. 🏍️

Today we said farewell to a truly one-of-a-kind character who lived life in his own unmistakable way.
Paul’s final journey was as individual as he was, arriving in a beautiful horse-drawn gypsy carriage, surrounded by stunning floral tributes that reflected some of the things he loved most in life - horses, his beloved Manchester United, and above all, his family.

The ceremony was filled with memories and love, celebrating a man who was wonderfully chaotic, had no filter, and always made sure his presence was known. Beneath that unique sense of humour was a kind and caring man who loved deeply and was deeply loved in return.

It was a fitting farewell for Paul - personal, heartfelt and unmistakably him.

Rest peacefully, Paul. ❤️

Today we said farewell to Jason Leonard Collinson – JJ to so many who knew and loved him.

A truly one-of-a-kind character, Jason lived life in his own way and certainly made an impression wherever he went. He loved his family, Christmas, horse racing, music, ice creams, tropical fish and, above all else, monkeys.

It was only fitting that his coffin was adorned with some of his beloved monkeys and a few of the colourful sayings that were unmistakably JJ.

There was sadness today, but also plenty of laughter as family and friends remembered his mischievous nature, his larger-than-life personality and the countless stories he leaves behind.

As his family so perfectly put it, "They broke the mould with Jason."

Rest peacefully, JJ. You will be missed, remembered and loved always. 🐒❤️
