As the nights continue to draw in, and the focus turns towards Christmas, we wanted to remind visitors of our current park opening times.

Our beautifully maintained grounds remain open for quiet reflection and remembrance throughout the season, offering a peaceful space to visit loved ones.
🕰 Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm
🕰 Weekends & Bank Holidays 10am to 4pm

We kindly ask all visitors to allow enough time to leave the grounds before closing, as daylight fades earlier at this time of year.

This week marks National Grief Awareness Week, a time to recognise that grief touches every life and that no one should have to face loss alone.

At Memoria, we meet families at some of the hardest moments they will ever experience. We see first-hand that grief is deeply personal, different for everyone, and does not run to a timetable. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to grieve only your way.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. This week, we are joining others across the UK to highlight the help that exists for anyone affected by loss. The Good Grief Trust provides a comprehensive directory of bereavement support services offering emotional, practical and specialist help.

By encouraging open conversations and sharing trusted resources, we hope to remind every grieving person that help, understanding and kindness are within reach.

As the nights grow darker, we often find ourselves looking up - remembering those we miss and feeling their presence in quiet, unexpected moments.

Whether through a memory, a song, or the soft glow of the evening sky, love continues to shine through.

This is a gentle reminder that those we love are never truly far away.

✨ “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.” ✨

We would like to offer a sincere thank you to all the families who have shared their thoughtful reviews of our crematorium and memorial park.

Last month, we held a service for a local family of the Hindu faith for TL Urmilla Kantilal Dave.

The family were taken with the park and the service they received, which was, in their words, “ first class ”, The family kindly donated a Shiva statue to us for future Hindu services and to better help support more Hindu families during a time of great sadness.

Up and down the country, our sites have been carefully prepared to offer a fitting tribute to those who have fallen in conflict. 🌺

This Sunday, as people pause to reflect, we too remember the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of so many - those who gave everything so that others could live in peace.

We will remember them.
🌹 Lest we forget.

Every life is unique. And every farewell should be too. Funerals today are no longer just about tradition, but about choice.

Whether it’s through colour, music, humour, or personal touches, a celebration of life can reflect the person you loved and the moments that made them special. From a favourite song to a meaningful photograph, or even a touch of light-heartedness, these choices bring warmth and authenticity to the service.

Funerals are for the living as much as they are for those who have passed - a chance to honour a life, share memories, and find comfort together.
💙 What better way to say goodbye than by celebrating what your loved one loved most?

Contact us to discuss your plans or talk to your local funeral director.

Choosing the right music for a funeral or celebration of life can feel overwhelming, but it’s often one of the most meaningful ways to honour a loved one. Music has the power to capture emotions, spark memories, and reflect a life well lived.

According to The Funeral Guide UK, these are some of the most requested pieces of music: from timeless classics like Canon in D and Ni**od, to modern favourites such as Angels by Robbie Williams, My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion, and even uplifting choices like Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

It’s a reminder that there’s no “right” choice, only the music that feels right for you and your family.

💭 We’d love to know…what song would you choose to celebrate the life of someone special?

Remembering a loved one doesn’t always need to be tied to a place - sometimes it can be found in the quiet moments at home.

The Eternal Flame Glass Oil Candle offers a unique and meaningful way to create a home memorial. Handcrafted in Somerset, each piece is made with care and can incorporate a small amount of your loved one’s ashes. The result is a beautiful, timeless tribute that becomes part of your daily life.

Available in a range of elegant colours, this candle is more than décor, it’s a lasting reminder of love, illuminating your home with warmth, memory, and peace.

Because remembrance is not only about looking back, but also about carrying love forward. 🌿

Grief is a natural response to love and loss. It can feel overwhelming at times, but it is also a necessary part of healing. There is no timeline, no “right way” - only your way.

At our grounds, we see daily the love that families carry for those they have lost. Creating a memorial or choosing a special resting place can provide comfort, offering a space to visit, reflect, and continue that bond.

🌿 However you choose to honour your loved one, remember: grief is not weakness - it is love enduring.
