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.

[Rochdale Borough Council @RochdaleCouncil]

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.

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.

He will be sadly missed by all his friends and colleagues in the profession and the communities he served. May he rest in peace.

[NAFD - GTR Manchester & Local District Association @NAFDManchester]

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.

[NAFD - GTR Manchester & Local District Association @NAFDManchester]

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.
