A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY.

Tony & Michelle, The English Funeral Directors, warmly invite you to their annual Christmas Remembrance service—a gentle, comforting space to honour and remember your loved ones during the holiday season.

The holidays can bring a mix of emotions, and our memorial tree service offers a meaningful way to feel connected. Whether your loved one passed away recently or many years ago, you are welcome to take part in this tender act of remembrance.

We invite you to write a personal message, memory, or prayer on a star provided on the evening, or beforehand if you cannot join us in person. During the service, you will have the opportunity to place your star upon our Christmas memory tree, where it will be lovingly dedicated.

While remembering can be emotional, our service is designed to be a warm, uplifting gathering that celebrates the lives of those we hold dear. Together, we will share in a peaceful selection of poems, prayers, Christmas carols, and quiet moments for reflection.

We would be honoured to welcome you and walk alongside you in remembrance this season. Please reach out to us directly for details on service times and how to receive your star in advance.
