Our Christmas Memorial Service takes place 1 week today.
Thank you to everyone who has already sent in photos of their loved ones to be included in the service. If you would still like to share a photo, you have until Monday the 8th to send it to eastriding.crematorium@thecmg.co.uk. I will confirm once your photos have been received.
When you arrive, you will be invited to light a candle in memory of your loved one, so their light can shine throughout the service. There will also be opportunities to do this at the end.
At 11.00am Helen Davies will be leading the service, giving us all a moment to pause, reflect, and remember those we hold dear.
After the service, everyone is welcome to join us in the Hospitality Suite for complimentary refreshments. You will also be able to visit our Book of Remembrance room to place a star on the tree.
We will have letters available for anyone wishing to write a personal message to their loved one this Christmas, which can then be posted in our “Letters to Heaven” post box located in the memorial gardens. Many people find that writing their thoughts and feelings down can bring comfort and help them feel more connected to their loved one during this time. All letters are kept securely as we send your love onwards.
We are also grateful to once again welcome Sue M Dixon Therapies, a trained therapist, who has supported many families at previous services. Her calm presence and understanding nature have brought comfort to those who were finding the day particularly emotional, and we truly appreciate her continued willingness to be with us. She will be available for anyone who feels they may benefit from a quiet conversation or a moment of support.
There will also be a raffle in the Hospitality Suite. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has kindly donated gifts, as well as those who have already contributed towards the chosen charity, Scope, selected by our new Business Leader.
We look forward to seeing you.
