Full of lights and ready for your Christmas tributes ✨

We are delighted to announce that the memorial tree is up for 2025
Following the wonderful response last year and previous years, we have bought a bigger tree for all the lovely tributes.
As always, our first one is Stan Simpson a loving father , grandfather and funeral director who dedicated his life to helping others.

As usual, there are tribute tags in our reception for you all to personally add your tributes. Alternatively please comment on this post with your message and we will add the tribute on your behalf.

Thank you 🎄✨🕊️

This week is Grief Awareness Week, and a chance to recognise how any type of loss can affect our wellbeing.

There’s no right or wrong way to feel — grief affects everyone differently.

If you're finding things difficult, there’s support that can help.

A lovely lady has lost her diamond eternity ring on the 120 bus yesterday between Granville Road and town
It has 6 diamonds on a gold band
It has great sentimental value as it was a gift from her late husband.

Can anyone help please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
