Manager's Statement
Manager Mark Winnock said: "Over the Father's Day period, we are holding in our thoughts all those missing their father, a father-figure, and fathers who are bereaved of a child. They are all warmly welcome to join us on Father's Day for some quiet reflection in our comfortable chapel and beautiful grounds."
"We understand that comfort means different things to different people, and we are here to support you in whatever way feels right. We also know that the bereaved can take great comfort from posting personal messages in our white memorial postbox, which helps them maintain a feeling of connection with those they have lost."
Open to All
The invitation is open to anyone to visit the crematorium to remember their loved ones on Father's Day, whether or not there is a memorial to their father or father-figure in the crematorium grounds, and regardless of where their funeral took place. Whether a loss is recent or from some time ago, they are equally welcome.
Mark added: "Father's Day is one of those annual occasions when a loss can be felt more, and we want to ensure people know that they are very welcome to take comfort in paying tribute to their loved ones at our crematorium."
