Father’s Day at West Suffolk Crematorium

Westerleigh Group’s West Suffolk Cemetery & Crematorium is inviting families to visit and commemorate the lives of their fathers and father figures.

In the run up to Father’s Day, families are being invited to visit the site from Monday 13 June until Saturday 18 June, between 9am and 5pm, to hang a bauble on the crematorium’s memorial tree as a tribute to their loved ones.

Baubles can be personalised with messages, photos or small flowers.

In exchange, visitors will be welcome to make a voluntary donation to Huntington’s Disease Association, Westerleigh Group’s corporate charity partner for 2022.

On Father’s Day itself, Sunday 19 June, the picturesque, peaceful grounds of the crematorium will be open as usual for those who wish to have some quiet reflection and remembrance.

West Suffolk Cemetery & Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, the UK’s largest owner and operator of crematoria and cemeteries, with 37 sites in England, Scotland, and Wales, all set within beautifully landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide pleasant, tranquil places for people to visit and reflect.

Site Manager Claire Butcher said: “Father’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost their father or father figure.

“Every year, we welcome many families to our grounds who come to lay flowers and commemorate their loved ones around Father’s Day.

“We hope that families will find comfort in their visit to us again this year.”
