Events like Father’s Day can be particularly poignant for those mourning the loss of a loved one, and Westerleigh Group is keen to ensure local people are aware that their crematoria recognise this and want to help and support people.
Westerleigh Group’s Sirhowy Valley Crematorium is inviting families to visit and commemorate the lives of their fathers and father figures.
The site is opening its chapel on Sunday 19 June for a special Father’s Day Moment of Reflection between 10.30am and 12noon.
Visitors will be able to write a personalised message to a loved one, which will be placed on a memory tree and light a candle in remembrance.
Sirhowy Valley Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, the UK’s largest owner and operator of crematoria and cemeteries, with 37 sites in England, Scotland, and Wales, all set within beautifully landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide pleasant, tranquil places for people to visit and reflect.
Site Manager Jon Deacon said: “Father’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost their father or father figure.
“In our second year since opening in March 2021, we look forward to welcoming families to our grounds who come to lay flowers and commemorate their loved ones around Father’s Day.
“We hope that families will find comfort in their visit to us again this year.”
The picturesque, peaceful grounds at Sirhowy Valley Crematorium will be open as usual throughout the day.
