Sirhowy Valley Crematorium is holding a moment of contemplation ahead of Mother’s Day.

Residents are being invited to the crematorium, in Pontllanfraith, between 10am and midday on Saturday March 18 to write personal messages to lost loved ones.

The messages will be added to a special Mother’s Day Memory Tree, with those attending able to take home packs of Forget-Me-Not seeds to create their own memorials.

The crematorium is also offering a contribution of up to £500 towards the personalisation of new granite memorials

Jon Deacon, site manager at Sirhowy Valley Crematorium, said: “Mother’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost their mum or mother-figure, or for mothers who have been bereaved of a child.

“We hope that visiting us will bring comfort to anyone who needs it during this special time of the year, as will our special offer for the personalisation of new granite memorials, which will help make people’s ideas a reality and provide a unique and very personal tribute to their loved one.” 

Visit the crematorium’s website for more details.

Meanwhile, the crematorium has also installed a new memorial post box, allowing people to send ‘letters to heaven’.
