Cathedral Funeral Services, based on St Owen Street, was placed in liquidation following the retirement of its owner, Patrick Walesby. A notice on the Cherished Funeral Services website confirmed his retirement. The statement said: "Proprietor Patrick Walesby has retired. "Kate of Cherished Funerals is your new point of contact should you require a funeral director or wish to discuss anything."
