Ashes to Ashes (6th March 2008)

Plot
Laurel and Ashley both struggle to cope on the morning of Daniel's funeral. At the service, Laurel is unable to give her reading and so Doug steps in to aid his daughter. Fighting back tears, Ashley then gives a moving eulogy for his son with the congregation welling up, but Laurel can only stare blankly at the coffin. Afterwards in the Woolpack, Laurel comes round and furiously blames Hilary for her son's death. Hilary is devastated and when a reconciliation fails later on, it's decided that she and Doug must leave the village. Laurel later tells Ashley she doesn't know how she'll cope without Daniel and visits the graveside. With her faith shaken and family isolated, who will help Laurel through her grief?
