We have very kindly been donated a Letterbox to Heaven by Oliver & James Funeral Directors.

This is a dedicated place where you can post letters to your loved one.

Whether it be a letter of love, a Birthday card or somewhere to post those letters you may have already written. All our welcome.

The postbox is located on the footpath towards the chapel from the main carpark.

Entering a new year without a loved one can be overwhelming. Finding ways to remember them and honour their life can provide comfort in difficult moments.

Our collection of home memorials, including the option to have your loved one’s ashes incorporated into beautiful glass keepsakes, offers a personal and lasting tribute.

Please note that certain items may take up to 6 weeks for delivery, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead.

Visit our Celebration of Life Store below or speak to our team for further information.

Our beautiful teardrop ashes keepsake contains a small amount of cremated ashes to keep your loved ones near. Lovingly handmade in the UK. Free UK Delivery.

As we reflect on the memories of those we’ve lost, especially during the festive season, it’s the warmth of their presence and the happiness they brought us that remains. Their spirit continues to shine through the moments we share with others, the traditions we uphold, and the memories we cherish.

If you need someone to talk to then help is available. Here is a list of a few UK charities who may be able to help, or signpost you to local support groups.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped at our Light a candle for a loved one Christmas Remembrance service last night. It was a beautiful special service.

A service to remember and celebrate our loved ones.

Our talented Chapel Attendant Callum took some amazing photos.

The first Christmas without a loved one can often be the hardest. The grief can feel even more intense if their passing occurred just before what is typically a season of joy and celebration.

For many, finding comfort in memories of happier times can offer some solace. Whether it's watching their favourite films, listening to meaningful songs, reminiscing through old photos, or holding onto cherished belongings, these moments of connection help keep their spirit alive.

These small acts can bring a sense of closeness and peace amidst the pain.

How do you honour and remember your loved ones in the days leading up to Christmas?

As the nights continue to draw in, and the focus turns towards Christmas, we wanted to remind visitors of our current park opening times.

Our beautifully maintained grounds remain open for quiet reflection and remembrance throughout the season, offering a peaceful space to visit loved ones.
🕰 Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm
🕰 Weekends & Bank Holidays 10am to 4pm

We kindly ask all visitors to allow enough time to leave the grounds before closing, as daylight fades earlier at this time of year.

This week marks National Grief Awareness Week, a time to recognise that grief touches every life and that no one should have to face loss alone.

At Memoria, we meet families at some of the hardest moments they will ever experience. We see first-hand that grief is deeply personal, different for everyone, and does not run to a timetable. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to grieve only your way.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. This week, we are joining others across the UK to highlight the help that exists for anyone affected by loss. The Good Grief Trust provides a comprehensive directory of bereavement support services offering emotional, practical and specialist help.

👉 Find support here: https://thegoodgrieftrust.pulse.ly/ianahcsb22

By encouraging open conversations and sharing trusted resources, we hope to remind every grieving person that help, understanding and kindness are within reach.

As the nights grow darker, we often find ourselves looking up - remembering those we miss and feeling their presence in quiet, unexpected moments.

Whether through a memory, a song, or the soft glow of the evening sky, love continues to shine through.

This is a gentle reminder that those we love are never truly far away.

✨ “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.” ✨
