Great Glen crematorium hosting Christmas carol and memorial service to remember loved ones
Anyone missing a loved one during the Christmas season is invited to a memorial service at Great Glen Crematorium.
The service takes place at the crematorium on London Road, just outside the village of Great Glen, on Wednesday December 10 at 6pm.
It will feature a live gospel choir, while there are also opportunities for visitors to write personal messages on tags which can be hung from the crematorium’s Christmas tree.
The service is being streamed live online, and anyone following this way can use the site’s white memorial postbox to virtually send a Christmas card to a loved one.
The service will also be available to watch back on demand for up to 28 days from Friday December 12.
Manager of Great Glen Crematorium, Marc Palmer, said he hopes the service will bring comfort to people. He added: “Our Christmas service is open to anyone and everyone, regardless of whether you’ve ever attended a funeral here before or have a memorial to a loved one in our grounds.
“We know that during this time of year the loss of a loved one can be particularly poignant.
“Our service is a meaningful way to bring people together in leading up to Christmas and finding comfort in remembering their loved one in company with others.”
Anyone wishing to attend the service can secure a free place by emailing [email protected] or by calling 0116 259 1101.
