Christmas can be a tough time if you’ve recently lost a loved one.

The team at Kingsdown Crematorium have recently installed a special Christmas tree for you to leave messages of remembrance to your loved ones this festive season.

Tags are available for visitors to write their messages on or you’re welcome to bring your own decoration to place on the tree.

Located in the Book of Remembrance Room, you can visit the tree any day of the week between 9am and 4pm.

We hope that this can offer some comfort to those who may be missing someone this Christmas.
