Today we took a friendly and enthusiastic group of celebrants for a 'peek behind the curtain' at The City of London Cemetery & Crematorium. We visited the old church, the crematorium, and the catacombs.

Huge thank you to Spencer and Nick for taking the time to show us round and bust some common myths around funerals.

If you would like to come on one of our behind the scene tours our next public tour is running on 11th March, 10.30am. It's open to all and free to attend. Pop us an email or give us a call if you'd like to join - info@commpassionatefunerals.co.uk // 020 8989 0493

A big thank you to Graham at The City of London Cemetery for inviting me along to celebrate the important work of the Port Health & Environmental Services Committee.

Wonderful to see funerals and death care valued and given a place at the table at events like this.
