Write a Memorial Star for our Tree of Light 🎄⭐

Ahead of this year’s online Tree of Light Memorial Service, available to watch from Sunday 14th December, we welcome everyone to write a Memorial Star in memory of their loved ones.

This year, you can join us at one of our in-person star writing events:

📆 Tuesday 2nd December, 4.30pm – 7.30pm

Max lowered the flag to half-mast this morning at 11am as members of the Mortons team gathered in honour of Armistice Day. We paused for a two-minute silence, and acknowledged the sacrifices and dedication of our Armed Forces, past and present. Lest We Forget!

Today, we pause to remember and honour all those who have served, sacrificed, and given their lives - Their courage and dedication will never be forgotten.

The flag at our Northfield Office has been lowered to half mast as a mark of respect for those that fought for our freedom.

Sarah and Simon were honoured to attend the Rubery Memorial Club and Rubery & Rednal Royal British Legion Parade and Service at St Chad's Rubery Church to lay a wreath from all of us here at Morton’s.

As Funeral Directors, we are privileged to hear stories that are shared with us by the families we serve. Recently, the family of the late Jane Lloyd, shared with us that shortly after her passing, they spotted a beautiful rainbow in the sky! At the families request, a rainbow theme was incorporated through Jane’s Service in the flowers that they chose, ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ being played at an appropriate point in the Chapel and even on personalised t-shirts worn in memory of Jane by her loved ones 🌈

It’s that time of year where our beautiful summer hanging baskets and planters have been replaced in readiness for the winter months. As with previous years, our friends from Botany Bay Nurseries, Garden Centre and Cafe have done a superb job! 🌺 🪴
