Just a quick update on our Christmas tree, the response from the community has been absolutely incredible. We are so pleased that our Tree has given so many people an opportunity to remember their loved ones at such a special time of the year.
It has really touched the hearts of our staff.

Lots of people have been asking about online donations if they can’t make it into our office, so with the help of Marie Curie we now have a QR code that will take you directly to a Just Giving page.

Or you can use the following link and it will take you to the same Just Giving Page:
https://www.justgiving.com/page/douglasfuneraldirectors?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL

And of course, our collection bucket will continue to be beside the Tree for those that are passing by or calling in to the office.

And now Faith, Hope and Love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is Love
(1 Corinthians 13.13)

As Christmas approaches, we at Douglas Funeral Directors are aware that this can be a very difficult time of year for many who have lost loved ones.

We wanted to provide the community with a place to remember those we love, but who are no longer with us, so this year we have introduced a Christmas tree in our funeral home.

This tree will serve as a Remembrance Tree, if you have lost a loved one, be it this year or any previous year, and would like their name added to the tree, simply call in, email info@douglasfuneraldirectors.com or leave us a message here on our page.

Beside our tree, there are little Christmas themed tags for you to write a name or a message, then simply hang your tag on the tree.

Additionally, beside the tree, there is a charity collection box in aid of Marie Curie, there is absolutely no obligation to donate but if you can, it would be very much appreciated and together we can help others.

Shortly after Christmas, we will total up those donations and the company will match or better that total.

Hopefully, this tree will become a tradition here and serve not only as an opportunity to remember those we have lost over the years but to help a very worthy cause.

Wishing every grieving heart a gentle Merry Christmas from all the Staff at Douglas Funeral Directors.

May the God of Hope fill you with Joy and Peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13)
