Anniversary services

It is with regret but due to the ongoing disruption from the impact of the Coronavirus we have had to postpone the monthly anniversary services until further notice.

Online Book of Remembrance

We have created an online Book of Remembrance to remember those who sadly lost their lives to the coronavirus pandemic.

It's here to not only help us reflect on our loss, but to celebrate and be thankful for those we have loved and the good they have brought to our lives.

If you would like to leave a message for a loved one, you can do so using our online message of condolence form.
