During the week commencing Monday 19th January 2026, our team will be removing the wreaths and any Christmas items from the grounds.

Each year, a lovely lady from the community collects many of the wreaths and reuses the decorations for her community classes, which is always great to see items being reused.

If there’s anything on your garden that you’d like to keep, please can you ensure they are collected by Sunday 18th January 2026

Thank you for your cooperation

When Robins appear loved ones are near. Our loved ones are always with us wherever we are and their presence appears in all different ways such as a Robin, feather or even a rainbow x

As we move into the New Year, we would like to share that Phase 2 of our project around The Lake is beginning. This phase is focused on gently enhancing the lakeside area, with the hope of creating a more colourful, peaceful and comforting environment throughout the Spring and Summer months.

During recent maintenance work, we carefully identified several suitable areas along the lakeside where water pedestals may be placed, should families wish to consider them.

If you would like to find out more about the water pedestals, either for current arrangements or for future planning, please feel free to contact us on 01388 722606 to arrange a quiet, private appointment at a time that suits you. For those who may find weekday appointments difficult, we will also be available by appointment on Saturday 10th or Saturday 17th January 2026.

Please know that there is no obligation, and we are here to offer support, guidance and information whenever you feel ready.

✨A little reminder this Christmas✨

Don’t forget to send a Christmas card to your loved one in heaven.

Our Letters to Heaven postbox is here for anyone who wishes to share a message, a memory or a little piece of their heart with someone they miss dearly.

Christmas can be a beautiful but emotional time and writing a card can bring comfort, connection and a moment of piece.

Our grounds and the post box are accessible 365 days a year and 24 hours a day.
