Well it’s that time of the year again and I would like to say it now before the big rush starts later on.
I would like to wish all the families that I have looked after this year and in years gone by a Happy New Year and hope that 2026 will be a better year for everybody involved.
Take a moment when the clock chimes midnight tonight to remember all those who we have lost this year and cherish the memories you have with them as, although they have gone, the memories will live on inside of you.
On behalf of myself and staff here at The Cottage Funeral Home thank you for the support and kindness that you’ve shown to me throughout the years so far-for that I will be forever grateful.
Let’s see what 2026 has planned for us all God Bless .
