Caring Lady Funeral Directors have been holding Christmas Tree Blessings in their funeral homes in Brighton, Hove, Peacehaven, Goring and Worthing during the month of December. Clients from the past year have been invited to attend and place personal message cards on the tree in memory of their loved ones.
A blessing held on Wednesday 14th December 2011 at Caring Lady Funeral Director, 38 Blatchington Road, Hove, was led by Reverend Peter King. Reverend King commented “Outside, it was a cold, wet and windy night, but inside we were warm, cosy and comforted as we remembered, sang carols, shared together and prayed. Mince pies, etc and drinks were in abundance as we gathered together for a very special time.
Thanks to all the staff for their kind hospitality at what can be a season of very mixed emotion for folk.”
Funeral Co-ordinators Kate Legate, Paula Coomber, Linda Wooff, Emily Lovick along with Sector Manager Jan Citrone added “We were delighted to be able to invite families to attend our blessing service and place their memorial cards onto our Christmas tree. It is a privilege to be able to offer the service at this special time of year”.
The Christmas trees will now remain within the reception areas of the funeral homes in Hove, Brighton and Peacehaven, Goring and Worthing until after the festive season.
