Thank you to everyone that joined us at our annual Carol Service of Remembrance on Wednesday evening.

It was touching to see so many people from the local community, come together to remember someone close to them, at this special time of year. We hope this Service brought some comfort to those who attended.

Special thanks must go to Rev Cathy Helm and her colleagues for leading such a beautiful and meaningful Service, the staff of Eden Valley Crematorium for their kind hospitality, and as ever, the fantastic Middle Eden Voices Choir for their moving music, which always adds a lovely touch to the evening.

The most important thank you goes to those families who attended, without whom the service wouldn't be as special as it is. The Christmas Tree will remain in the chapel until Christmas, decorated in the tags bearing the names and messages of your loved one's, who are missed and remembered, this Christmas time.

The 5th of November is a date synonymous to many for Bonfire night, it's also a date in the history of Walkers, as it was the date our Penrith office, Tynefield House was purchased in 1985. It's hard to believe 40 years has passed since this move, when Tynefield House was lovingly restored into a funeral home for our family firm as well as a family home. This beautiful Georgian building is distinctive in Penrith, and as well as serving our family firm, has also served countless bereaved families in the area, providing a place of comfort and reassurance.
