💌 Letters to Heaven 💌

Within the Children’s Memorial Area at East Herringthorpe, you’ll find our special Letters to Heaven post box — a quiet, heartfelt place to write a message to a little one or loved one who is no longer with us. ✨ We now also have one of our post boxes available in Greasbrough Lane Cemetery, located in the central point of the site.❤

Whether it’s words of love, something left unsaid, or just a note to let them know they’re never forgotten, you are welcome to write and post your letter through the box at any time.

Sometimes, the simple act of writing can bring a moment of comfort. 🌈

🕯️ Baby Loss Awareness Week | October 9th–15th 🕯️

Just a reminder that as part of Baby Loss Awareness Week, we’ll be displaying a memorial board from the 9th to the 15th of October.

Anyone who wishes to do so is warmly invited to leave a message, note, or name in remembrance of a baby gone too soon. Whether it's a few words, a drawing, or just a name — every message is a reminder that these little lives are never forgotten.

This week is about reflection, compassion, and coming together as a community to support those who have experienced loss — whether recently or many years ago.

Please feel free to stop by, take a moment, and add your message.

🍄✨ Fairy Ring Sighting! ✨🍄
Spotted today in the cemetery: a perfect circle of mushrooms — aka a fairy ring!

While folklore says they’re caused by dancing fairies or portals to another realm (tempting to believe, honestly), science tells us they’re formed by an underground fungus growing outward in a circle. The mushrooms you see are just the fruiting bodies popping up after recent rain.

The ring shape happens because the mycelium (fungus "roots") expands evenly in all directions, exhausting nutrients in the center and only fruiting at the edges. Basically, it's fungal math at work! 🧪

Still, there's something extra magical about finding one don’t you think?

💙 Baby Loss Awareness Week 💗
October 9th–15th

Next week we come together to honor and remember all the little lives gone too soon. Whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, each story matters—and every baby is deeply loved and never forgotten.

To mark this week, we will have a small memorial board in the main office for anyone who would like to come in and leave a note, message, or name in remembrance. This is a space for reflection, support, and shared compassion.

Everyone is welcome to participate—whether you have experienced loss yourself or simply want to stand in support of others.

You're not alone. 💕
