Great Glen Crematorium opening its doors to mark Mother's Day
Great Glen Crematorium is opening the doors of its chapel on Sunday March 15 to mark Mother’s Day.
Anyone missing a mother or mother figure, or the parents of a bereaved child, are invited to the chapel between 10am and midday to reflect on and remember lost loved ones.
They will also be invited to write a personal note on a tag which will then be placed on to a memorial tree.
Visitors can also write personalised messages and tributes on cards which can then be placed inside the crematorium’s white memorial postbox over the Mother’s Day period.
Manager of Great Glen Crematorium Marc Palmer said: “Over the Mother’s Day period, we are holding in our thoughts all those missing their mother, a mother figure and mothers who are bereaved of a child.
“They are all very warmly welcome to join us for this special workshop and create a personal, beautiful bouquet in honour of their loved ones.
“We also know that the bereaved can take great comfort from posting messages to loved ones in our white memorial post box, which helps them maintain a feeling of connection with those they have lost.”
The invitation to visit the crematorium’s welcoming chapel is open to anyone to remember loved ones, regardless of whether there is a memorial to their mother or mother figure in the crematorium’s grounds, and regardless of where their funeral took place.
Whether a loss is recent or from some time ago, visitors are welcome to the crematorium, as well as its natural burial ground and memorial gardens.
