Paying tribute to Fathers at West Lancashire Crematorium

West Lancashire Cemetery & Crematorium is inviting people to visit to remember and pay tribute to their loved ones in honour of Father’s Day.

On Friday 14 June between 3.30pm and 5.30pm, the chapel will be open, enabling people to have peaceful periods of reflection and remembrance.

During that period, a slideshow will be played on a loop on the screens in the chapel, featuring images of father or father figures who have been lost.

If anyone wants to submit a photograph for inclusion in the slideshow tribute, they should email it to westlancashire@westerleighgroup.co.uk, putting ‘Father’s Day Slideshow’ in the subject line on the email, by 7 June.

West Lancashire Cemetery & Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, one of the UK’s largest independent owners and operators of crematoria and cemeteries, with 40 sites in England, Scotland, and Wales, all set within beautifully landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide pleasant, peaceful places for people to visit and reflect.

Westerleigh Group prides itself on providing exceptional care to the bereaved, the standards of which are inspected by the Federation of Burial and Cremation Authorities (FBCA) in England and Wales, and the Scottish Government.

Manager Laura Linnane said: “Occasions such as Father’s Day can be particularly poignant for anyone who’s been bereaved of a paternal loved one.

“Our site provides the fitting and welcoming environment for anyone who is looking for a quiet place of reflection and contemplation.

“During their visit, guests can also leave a Father’s Day card in our Letters To Heaven memorial post box, which was installed several months ago to give people a feeling of connection with someone they can no longer be with.

“Regardless of whether they’re newly bereaved, lost their loved one a while ago, or where their funeral took place, our Father’s Day invitation is open to anyone who is looking for a place of comfort at this special time of year.”
