With so many of these beautiful historic chapels up and down the country in disrepair and unable to be used, it’s so sad to see one the few still in use meet such a untimely demise.
We're saddened to hear of a fire this morning gutting a chapel at Heywood Cemetery. Sadly, all of the building apart from the stonework is lost. No-one was hurt. Thanks to @manchesterfire who were on the scene - the site has been secured and further investigations underway.
Members are invited to join us for a relaxed virtual get together next month. The purpose of which is to share experiences of the past, current concerns & hopeful expectations of the future in regards to the current pandemic.

Good luck to any local members due to receive their results. In an unregulated profession, the personal decision to better your knowledge and understanding is commendable and worth it for you, your colleagues and most importantly the clients and their loved ones in your care.
Exam results go out today! Congratulations to all those who worked so hard for their achievements - and to the tutors who supported you.

We’re saddened to announce the peaceful yet premature passing of our colleague and friend Neil Macdonald in late June. Neil entered the profession at 16 and spent the following years working for several funeral homes across the Greater Manchester region.

After a small break working as a Nurse at Wythenshawe Hospital. Neil would later set up Wythenshawe Funeral Services in the late 2000s before selling up to @fspfunerals some 6 years later where he would eventually end up as part of their team in the role of Consultant FD.

Good progressive news for those denied the opportunity to hold funerals in churches this last few months.
Hopefully all our local churches are able to open, but visitors health and safety must be priority before it’s the right time to do so.
The House of Bishops has today shared guidance for parishes to work towards recommencing funerals in church buildings from 15 June.

We have been asked to circulate this correspondence on behalf of @BishManchester with regards to how FDs book funerals 20/04/20 onwards.
This information is relevant if your duties and funerals fall within the @DioManchester boundaries.
Please read carefully.
