Westerleigh Group unveils Father’s Day events

Westerleigh Group has announced that every one of its crematoria and cemeteries will be inviting families to visit around Father’s Day to honour the lives of their loved ones. 

The bereaved can also post messages and Father’s Day cards in the crematoria’s memorial post boxes, one of which is at every site.

A variety of other activities have also been organised by the crematoria to mark Father’s Day.

Some crematoria are also opening their chapels to enable people to have peaceful moments of reflection and remembrance.

Others have flowers, wooden hearts, pebbles or other items which can be personalised and either placed at a loved one’s memorial within the crematorium grounds or taken home.

Some have memory trees, which tags can be added to, while others are offering the opportunity for the bereaved to light commemorative candles.

Debbie Smith, CEO of Westerleigh Group, said: “Father’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost their father or father-figure, or for fathers who have been bereaved of a child.

“We welcome everyone to our beautifully peaceful crematoria grounds over the Father’s Day period and hope that they will gain comfort from their visit, and from being able to post messages and cards to their loved ones in our memorial post boxes.”
