THURSDAY 13th. JANAURY 2022 – Updated 10/01/22
We have been given permission by Bill’s family to send out the following details.
Due to the surge in Corona virus, the funeral has been limited by the Church to 80 people, so it is with regret that attendance at the service will be by invitation only.
However, the service will be livestreamed on Zoom:
Time: 11:45am

Meeting ID: 897 0680 7722
Passcode: 333306
The cortege will be leaving the car park at MBC at 10:40 on Thursday 13th January for a private family burial at St Michael’s in Aughton. Anyone unable to attend the service is welcome to pay their respects by seeing the Cortege leave the Church.
The family will return for a thanksgiving service at 11:45 am led by the Rev Phil Jump.
After the service there will be light refreshments served at Ormskirk Cricket club.
Those attending will be asked to wear a face mask whilst in the Church, use hand sanitizer and keep socially distanced rules. Ideally, where possible, people should do a lateral flow test before they attend.
Thanks on behalf of the Howarth Family.
INFORMATION FROM MBC
Please could those who plan to pay their respects when the Cortege leaves the church on Thursday, park at the Town Hall or in the Cricket Club.
The church car park will be reserved for family and those attending the Thanksgiving Service, along with anyone who has mobility difficulties.
Thank you for your consideration.
We have been close neighbours and friends of Bill since he moved into Stone Yard Close ,over 8 years ago . Often getting some shopping for him esp in the lockdown , given him support and friendship , ( even painting his front porch ) , along with other neighbours. I guess we are not on the list of 80 Invitees , other neighbours would also like to make their respects. Very disappointed.
