When our groundsman Nic was reminded by his memories that he took the top photo two years ago today, how could we not recreate it with a comparison picture ❤️

Nic and our Memorial Consultant spoke about placing a spare bench we had in this area to create a communal seating space alongside the path.
Who would have known that, later on, a communal tree bench would join it, and that this once blank canvas would soon become a truly tranquil resting place.

Sometimes, the most beautiful things come from the simplest ideas 🌿

💙 Not sure what to do with your loved one’s ashes? We’re here to help 💙

If you’re unsure what to do with your loved one’s ashes, you’re not alone. Many families choose to leave them in our care at Surrey & Sussex Crematorium until they feel ready to take the next step.

You can collect them as soon as the next day, weeks or months later. Grief is personal, and there’s no time limit. There’s no charge for keeping ashes safely with us. Your loved one will always be treated with dignity and respect.

When the time feels right, our memorial team will guide you through meaningful options and support you in whatever you decide. If you’d like the ashes to remain with us, simply let your funeral director know.
If you have any questions, please contact us, we’re always here to help. 💙

The fountain is now up and running! 💦
Next steps are to complete the pointing and add the surround — fingers crossed the weather holds off long enough for the ground to dry so we can get this done.

Once that’s complete, we’ll be able to put the pathway in.

The sound of the fountain is just beautiful, and we can’t wait to see the private gardens take shape around the Peace Gardens, bringing even more character to this new area. 🌿✨

✨ Wow, what an evening! ✨

The chapel was absolutely rammed!
Thank you to everyone who came out in the rain for our Christmas Memorial Service last night. It was truly amazing to see so many of you come together to spend time remembering your loved ones. 🤍

A very special thank you to St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School Choir for their beautiful singing — you were wonderful. 🎶

Thank you to Stoneman Funeral Service, Freeman Brothers, Ballard & Shortall Funeral Directors (East Grinstead), Ava King from Co-op Funeralcare Crawley, and Francis Chappell & Sons Funeral Directors Crawley for speaking and helping us throughout the evening. (I am sorry if I have missed anyone)

Thank you to Celebrant Mandy Cook – Individually Yours for holding such a beautiful and meaningful service.

And a super big thank you to our amazing Admin at Surrey & Surrey and Sussex Crematorium , Jemma, for all your hard work and dedication in making sure the evening ran so perfectly.

And a special thank you to Mark Honeyman for making the trip from Liverpool to come and support us. We miss you lots. ❤️

And the biggest thank you of all goes to you — our families — for joining us to light a candle, place a personal decoration on our Memory Tree, and spend time in quiet reflection at this special time of year.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It truly was a beautiful evening. ✨🤍
