The family of Elisa has shared funeral arrangements following her tragic passing, as loved ones, friends, and members of the wider community continue to mourn a loss that has left a profound sense of sadness. The announcement comes amid an outpouring of support, condolences, and shared memories from those who knew her, reflecting the deep impact she had on the lives around her.
In a heartfelt message, the family expressed their gratitude for the kindness and compassion shown since the news of Elisa’s death was made public. They described the past weeks as incredibly difficult, noting that the love and support they have received has helped carry them through their darkest moments. Messages of sympathy, photographs, prayers, and personal tributes have provided comfort as they navigate their grief.
The family confirmed that a private cremation will take place on Thursday, July 2, 2026. This will be followed by a funeral service on Friday, July 3, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at St Mary’s Church in Whorlton, DL12 8XF. Attendees have been asked to meet at the church and to allow sufficient time for travel, as Whorlton Village Bridge is currently closed, which may affect access routes.
Family flowers only have been requested. Donations, if desired, will be collected during the service and will be shared between St Mary’s Church and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. The air ambulance service was noted by the family as having played a significant role in Elisa’s care following the accident, making its inclusion in the tributes especially meaningful.
In keeping with Elisa’s bright personality and vibrant spirit, the family has also requested that mourners do not wear black. Instead, attendees are encouraged to wear colours that reflect the warmth, joy, and positivity she brought into the lives of those who knew her.
The family has asked that the arrangements be shared widely so that anyone who wishes to pay their respects is given the opportunity to do so. They concluded their message with appreciation for the continued support from friends, relatives, and the wider community during this difficult time.
