Torbay Cemetery and Crematorium in Devon has announced plans for a number of Father’s Day tributes.
On Father’s Day people are being invited to visit the crematorium and use the paper and envelopes provided to write a personal message which can be placed in the Letters to Loved Ones memorial post box.
Visitors will also be able to collect a commemorative rose and either place it within the grounds or take it home with them.
Furthermore, they can light a candle in memory of their loved one, and write a message on a tag which is placed on a memorial tree.
Stephen Ainsworth, manager, 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 crematorium is not just somewhere they come to in order to attend a service but is a fitting place to visit whenever they wish to remember their lost loved ones.
“Specific days such as Father’s Day are times when emotions can come to the fore, and when losses can be felt more than at other times, so we hope that visiting us will bring comfort to those who need it.”
He added: “And, of course, if they are thinking of creating a more permanent memorial, our special offer can also help make their ideas become a reality and provide a unique and personal tribute to any loved one they have lost.”
