🌟 Memorial Christmas Tree – Honoring Our Loved Ones 🌟

As we enter this season of love, light, and remembrance, we invite all bereaved families to join us in placing a memorial star on our Christmas tree in honor of those we hold forever in our hearts.

You are welcome to stop by, write your loved one’s name on a star, and hang it on the tree as a symbol of cherished memories and enduring love. 💛

May this tree shine brightly with the stories, lives, and legacies that continue to touch us all.
Everyone is welcome, and you may come at any time that feels right for you.

If you have any questions, please reach out.
Wishing comfort and peace to all this holiday season. ✨

Thank you to the family for letting us share this adorable photo🤍

Funerals can be a very confusing time for children. It’s a lot of emotions to process and a lot of overwhelming things happening that they might not fully understand.

During a funeral we conducted last week, this cheeky boy was in the back of our limousine with his family, to keep him distracted and happy our brilliant Funeral Director Bob Somerville lent him his hat to play with and it sure did make everyone giggle!

We absolutely love the photo and are glad that a little bit of laughter could be there on a very sad day🕊️
