Westerleigh Group’s crematoria are marking Father’s Day with a number of different events and activities to enable families to commemorate the lives of their loved ones.
Some crematoria will be offering opportunities for families to share quiet moments of reflection and remembrance in their chapel or grounds, while others will have tags and pebbles on which personal messages can be written, and then placed on the loved one’s memorial or taken home.
Other crematoria will offer flowers that can be used in a similar way, while others will be inviting visitors to place messages in their ‘Letters to Heaven’ or ‘Letters to Loved Ones’ memorial post boxes.
All Westerleigh Group’s crematoria also have a special offer where they are giving 10% off all new memorial purchases, including personalisation, between 1 June and 2 July 2023.
The offer is available towards the entire purchase, including the lease of a memorial plot, a memorial itself as well as its personalisation, enabling families to choose a memorial that truly reflects their loved one.
Westerleigh Group also includes Distinct Cremations, which provides a range of direct cremation services and funeral plans, with the “exceptional” levels of care that the group is renowned for.
Debbie Smith, CEO of Westerleigh Group, said: “Father’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost their dad or father-figure. More and more people are discovering that our crematoria and cemeteries are not just places they come to in order to attend a service, but are also beautiful settings to visit whenever they wish to remember their loved ones.
“Specific days such as Father’s Day can be emotional times when losses can be felt more than at other times, so we hope that visiting us will bring comfort to those who need it.”
She added: “And, if they are thinking of having a more permanent memorial, we have experienced colleagues who are passionate about caring for the families they serve and can help them create a unique and personal tribute to any loved one they have lost.”
