Christmas is a special time for families to come together — a time of warmth and love.
But it can also be a moment of quiet reflection, when we remember those who are no longer with us.

As a gentle reminder, our Tree of Remembrance is still open for anyone who would like to honour a loved one by dedicating a star in their memory.

You are warmly invited to write a personal message on a silver star, either by visiting us at our funeral home on North Street, Bicester, or by submitting your star online here:
👉 https://www.dlhancock.co.uk/tree-of-remembrance-lights/

Let us continue to fill the tree with precious messages of love, remembrance, and connection.
This invitation is open to everyone in our community — not only the families we have served before.

📎 Testimonial:
“Placing a star for my mum brought real comfort. It was a simple but truly meaningful experience.”
