TRESWITHIAN Downs Crematorium is inviting people to visit on Father’s Day to spend time remembering and reflecting on beloved paternal relatives they have lost.

Between 10am and noon on Sunday, June 15, the chapel will be open for people to spend quiet time in remembrance, while reflective music plays in the background.

Visitors can collect commemorative roses which they can either take home with them or leave on a loved one’s memorial within the crematorium’s grounds, including the reflection garden.

Treswithian Downs Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, one of the UK’s largest independent owners and operators of crematoria and cemeteries.

Manager Kathy Green said: “Visitors are also welcome to put Father’s Day cards into our Letters to Heaven memorial post box. Cards will be provided for this.

"Since installing the memorial post box, we've received heartfelt feedback from the bereaved, who say that writing and sending messages to their loved ones brings them great comfort and helps them feel a continued sense of connection."

Members of the public are welcome to visit the crematorium in order to remember their loved ones during the Father’s Day period, regardless of whether or not there is a memorial to their father or father figure in the grounds, or where their loved one’s funeral took place.

Kathy added: “Much like Christmas and Mother’s Day, Father’s Day can be a particularly poignant time when feelings of loss are felt more deeply. We want everyone to know they are warmly welcome to pay tribute to their loved ones at our crematorium.

“The crematorium offers lots of memorialisation options which enable the bereaved to have a long-lasting tribute to those they have lost.”
