Yesterday, the Woodthorpe Tara and community shop hosted a lovely children’s party, and we were delighted when a very special visitor stopped by to say hello. 🎅🏼

Moments like these remind us how important community connection is, and how simple kindness and shared joy can brighten a day. This visit certainly made Paula’s day! ❤️

✨ Our Remembrance Tree ✨

As we enter the festive season, we know that Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for those who are missing someone they love. While many gather to celebrate, some hearts feel a little heavier, memories a little sharper, and the absence of someone special a little more profound.

To honour those we hold close in our hearts, we invite families to visit our funeral home and place a remembrance bauble on our Remembrance Tree, which will be proudly displayed in our office throughout the festive period.

We will be providing the baubles, each one a symbol of love and memory — a way to honour those who remain forever in our hearts.

Whether we’ve supported you recently or it has been many years, you are warmly welcome to stop by, take a quiet moment, and add a bauble in memory of your loved one.

Our doors are open, our staff are here for you, and our tree stands as a space of comfort, reflection, and remembrance this Christmas season. 💛

The Season They’re Not Here

Some people don’t feel the sparkle of December
they feel the empty chair,
the quiet space where a voice used to echo.

While the world hums carols,
they’re piecing themselves together
one fragile day at a time.

The tree goes up,
but so do memories
soft, sharp, relentless.

Grief doesn’t follow the calendar;
it doesn’t wait politely for January.
It settles in the heart
like a winter storm that never fully clears.

If this season feels heavier than others,
you are not failing.
You are loving someone
who isn’t here to feel it.

Let yourself breathe.
Let yourself break.
Let yourself remember.

And if your home is still full of voices and warmth,
let gratitude win.
Hold them fiercely
for someone, somewhere,
would give anything
to hold their missing person just once more.

Today Roger has been to decorate the tree outside that was planted by Michael and team in memory of local councillor Peter Rippon, who did so much for the community of Woodthorpe. We hope it brings a smile to all in the area.

Many bereaved parents & families find Christmas & other festive events so very painful. They are missing their much-loved child, sibling or grandchild from the table & celebrations.

This pain can be made more acute when they receive cards without any mention of who has died.

If you are sending a card to a bereaved parent or family member at this time of year, please acknowledge the loss of their loved one.

- and remembering...
- never forgetting...
- thinking of...
