ANYONE missing a loved one during the festive season is invited to join Treswithian Downs Crematorium’s Christmas carol and memorial service for some comfort and company.

Whether they are living in or visiting the communities around the crematorium near Camborne, they are welcome to join the event, which takes place on Monday, December 8 from 6pm.

During the service, visitors will be able to see an image of their loved one displayed as part of a memorial slideshow. Visitors will also be able to use the crematorium’s white memorial post box for ‘sending’ a Christmas card to their loved one.

If they can’t make it in person on the evening, the service is being streamed live online and can be viewed for several weeks after.

Manager Kathy Green said: “Our Christmas service is open to anyone and everyone, regardless of whether you’ve ever attended a funeral here before or have a memorial to a loved one in our grounds.

“We know that during this time of year the loss of a loved one can be particularly poignant. Our service is a meaningful way to bring people together in leading up to Christmas and finding comfort in remembering their loved one in company with others.”

Anyone who would like an image of their loved one to be included as part of the slideshow during the service, can email a digital photo to [email protected] by no later than Monday, December 1, using the heading ‘Christmas Service Slideshow’.

Those who are unable to attend in person but would like to watch the service online can watch it by visiting: https://christmas.obitus.com, and then inputting the user name ‘Treswithian’ and the password ‘robin’.

The event will be available to see on the ‘watch again’ service using the same link and log-in details as above, for 28 days from Wednesday, December 10.
