As we welcome a new year, many of us pause to remember loved ones who are no longer with us. For those who are grieving, this time can bring mixed emotions, hope for the future and heartache for the past. Tonight, we hold bereaved families in our thoughts and offer support as they step into the year ahead. May we all carry forward the love and memories that never fade.

The Park crematorium and cafe will be open from 10am until 3pm today, so if you would like to stretch your legs with a walk around our grounds you would be most welcome. You can bring your dog as well, as long as it’s kept on a lead and then treat yourself to a hot drink in the cafe which is dog friendly.

Christmas is a time of togetherness, but it can also be a moment of quiet reflection for those we’ve loved and lost. Today, we hold bereaved families in our thoughts and hearts, offering compassion and support as they navigate this time. May we all take a moment to remember the cherished memories and honour those who are no longer with us.

Our Remembrance Christmas Trees are lovingly placed in the Book of Remembrance Room at Efford and Weston Mill cemeteries, as well as in the Book of Remembrance Pavilion at The Park, one can also be found in our public cafe at The Park. These trees offer a gentle and heartfelt way for families to honour and remember their loved one during the festive season. Each tag hung on the tree carries a personal message, a small but meaningful gesture that keeps their memory alive and close to our hearts.

This morning’s visits to Efford and Weston Mill were truly moving. Our cemeteries look beautiful thanks to our Burial and Grounds Team. It’s touching to see so many Christmas wreaths lovingly placed on graves, each one a tribute to cherished memories and loved ones who remain close in our hearts.

The Park is looking absolutely beautiful in the winter sunshine today. By the end of the day, all 100 additional trees will have been planted, and it’s wonderful to hear such positive comments from visitors about how lovely The Park is looking.

Many of these newly planted trees can be memorialised in memory of a loved one which is a meaningful way to create a lasting tribute.
