wilmslow Albert R Slack Ltd and JW Brocklehurst & Sons, two of Cheshire’s longest standing Independent Funeral Directors, officially joined in 2015 to combine over 250 years of experience and knowledge for the benefit of the communities which they serve. Still operating from both addresses in Wilmslow and Prestbury, as Albert R Slack Ltd & JW Brocklehurst Ltd, we are committed to upholding the values instilled within both businesses throughout all those years whilst, at the same time, looking forward and developing our services to meet our clients’ changing needs. It’s a well-known fact that here in the UK, we’re not very comfortable about discussing death and so it is that many of us die without having made our wishes for our funeral known to anyone, leaving our loved ones struggling with difficult and sometimes challenging decisions. A quiet conversation with us, in comfortable surroundings, is all it takes to ease that burden and there are a couple of ways in which we can help you. You may prefer to set up a pre-paid funeral plan and as members of both the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and the Association of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF) we have the advantage of working alongside one of the largest funeral plan providers, Golden Charter. The ‘Independent Way Plan’ allows you to specify exactly what your requirements are and make a one-off payment, which then guarantees the Funeral Directors fees are held at today’s prices. If this is of interest to you, please call us and we will be happy to forward the literature to read – we won’t call you afterwards, we let you call us. On the other hand, you may wish to complete one of our ‘Registered Wishes’ leaflets which can be downloaded from our website. www.cheshirefunerals.co.uk/funeral-plans This service is offered completely free of charge, no fees are taken but it means that at the time of need, we have all your information in place for when your loved one calls. All we ask is that you give a copy of your completed form to your next of kin and/or solicitor so that they know what you have done. If you would like to discuss either of these ideas further, please call 01625 525063 or 01625 829232 and speak to one of our Funeral Directors who will be very happy to help. We had five relegations in six years between 2006 and 2011, stopping that momentum was hard. We were lucky the youngsters stuck at it and we are one division off where we were in 2005. That team had disbanded in 2005 as they took up golf, got married had kids, we are going to be there again soon! The trend at some clubs seems to be to import players to get results, these players don’t always have the club at heart and when they leave the Albert R Slack Ltd & JW Brocklehurst Ltd Funeral Directors Independent Family Businesses Since 1853 Put your trust in a local family firm with fully qualified Directors and a wealth of experience Plan for the future with a bespoke Golden Charter Funeral Plan or your own personal registered wishes Albert R Slack Ltd 84 South Oak Lane, Wilmslow, SK9 6AT 01625 525063 JW Brocklehurst Ltd 17 Macclesfield Road, Prestbury, SK10 4BW 01625 829232 www.cheshirefunerals.co.uk stalwarts, the people who do the work, haven’t been getting a game and have moved on.” Ambitions “Our first ambition is to still be here in five years time … we have a super picturesque ground in the centre of a small town, it’s a quality product and we have kept the cost of playing and being a member of the club as low as we can do that we can offer a game of cricket to more people. We had thirty children on All Stars this week and this must be the start of our new Junior Section. By 2024 we should therefore have an Under 15’s, with a number playing on a Sunday with me still Captain at 66, retired and helping Les and John on the ground.” www.sportip.biz 59
