Thank You for Joining Us at Our Open Day!

We’d like to thank everyone who came along to our Open Day on Saturday. We’re delighted to share that we raised £154.00 from the raffle and toy sale, which has been donated to Bringing Back a Smile — the charity we’re proud to support this year.

The Q&A session with Nichola and Steven Reader was a great success, with lots of interesting questions and discussion. Chris our Cremator Technician also had some great feedback from the Behind the Scenes tour, which gave many families peace of mind.

A big thank you also goes to Joanne and Bev from Hardy’s Funeral Services, one of our wonderful local independents, for coming along and supporting us, as well as to Helen from the Co-op at Ferryhill — we couldn’t do these events without your support.

A special shout-out to Margaret, who did a fantastic job selling raffle tickets (we’re sure no one got past her without buying one!).

Thank you once again to everyone who contributed and joined in. Keep an eye on our page for details of our next event!
