Mauve & Josh made our day when they popped in yesterday to collect donations from our Christmas Memorial (and a bagful of chocolate coins for their friends).

Little Inspirations is a charity run nursery and are fundraising to upgrade facilities and enhance play areas for the children.

We wish them all the best with their fundraising endeavours and hope all the children have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

A lovely night at our first Christmas Memorial service, shared with special people. We hope it brought a little comfort & time to reflect amongst the busyness of December. Thank you to those who helped and all those who came.🎄

Our team had a lovely meal out last night at The Kings Arms Hotel. We were joined by the local gravediggers, who made for great company.

We’re very fortunate that in our little corner of the world those we work alongside become part of our extended team. All working together to serve those we care for the very best we can.

Last call for any photographs for our Christmas Memorial tribute. Photographs can be messaged into the page, emailed or popped into the office (best to ring first). Any photographs should be sent in by Monday 8th December.📷

Our service is open to all. It's been lovely to hear from so many families from over the years.

The service will conducted by our very own Rachael Miller and run for around forty minutes with readings, music from Fiona Bryant Humanist Celebrant & of course, our memorial photo tribute.

Everyone will then be welcome to join us in the church hall for complementary mince pies, shortbread and mulled wine served by our neighbours at The Granite Kitchen.

Our little corner in Dalbeattie and Kirkgunzeon Parish Church. Rachael’s day quickly filled with appointments so Jean very kindly stepped in to decorate on behalf of DGL. We wish the congregation a peaceful advent & hope our glittering gold tree brings light & joy. 🎄

Our Christmas tree once again takes pride of place in our High Street window, ahead of the Christmas light switch on. Our tree houses a little memorial decoration for every family we’ve cared for this year. We chose handmade snowflakes for 2025. The decorations will be made available to those families for their own trees next year ❄️
