CHRISTMAS TREE BLESSING AT LODGE BROTHERS COBHAM

Lodge Brothers funeral directors Cobham recently invited bereaved families to an intimate Christmas tree blessing ceremony held at the branch in Holly Hedge Road.

Following a service and blessing from Rev Canon Robert Jenkins of St Andrews Church, families were given the opportunity to hang a message on the tree, then the lights were switched on and will stay lit through the Christmas period as a mark of remembrance for those loved ones lost in Cobham this year.

Afterwards, refreshments and were served and memories were shared, and as they left the guests thanked the staff for arranging this lovely act of remembrance.

PHYLLIS TUCKWELL HOSPICE GETS THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE!

Not one to shy away from a challenge, Paul Bye at Lodge Brothers could not turn down the opportunity to save Christmas for Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice when he was approached by the Hospice for help.

The Hospice had been gifted a 20ft Christmas tree from a local garden centre but they had no way of delivering the tree to the Hospice. The gauntlet was thrown down and within hours a large lorry was hired, and Chris Oliver and Paul were on their way to deliver the tree.

The Dutch tree took centre stage at the Hospice’s ‘Light up a Life’ event on 28th November.

Organising a funeral can seem like a daunting task, especially when we find ourselves having to make difficult decisions at a time of loss and bereavement, when we feel least able to manage. Lodge Brothers funeral directors Englefield Green dedicated professional and empathetic staff are available 24 hour service, 365 days a year, providing advice on what needs to be done and by whom.

We take this opportunity to wish our customers a very happy festive season.

St Patrick’s Day was marked on the 17th March 2016

March has been a busy month with celebrations all month round. Firstly Mother’s Day was celebrated in style this year with beautiful elegant window displays in honour of all the mothers who are no longer with us as well as the mothers who are. Some of  Lodge Brothers branches such as funeral directors Ashford decorated their windows using a pink-themed Mother’s Day display at the weekend .

 

One client brought in a card and was very grateful for having it included in the display in remembrance of her mum.

The poem “My Mother Kept a Garden” was displayed in the window which has some lovely thoughts about the caring  and nurturing nature of mothers.

 

St Patrick’s Day was marked on the 17th March 2016 at funeral directors Feltham

Traditionally, the day is celebrated by a visit to Church in the morning, followed by dancing and merriment when the  restrictions of Lent are lifted for one day! The display in the  window shows the Irish flag, a shamrock (hand  knitted by Pat) alongside a bottle of Guinness.

Easter is a time to celebrate with friends and family and a time to remember loved ones who have passed on. What better way to remember our loved ones than by doing something for members of the community. Sharing Easter in the community brightens so many people’s day especially the elderly. Lodge Brothers funeral directors Northolt have arranged an Easter Tea Party for the residents of local nursing homes in and around the various villages.

Find out what some of the other Lodge Brothers branches such as funeral directors Englefield Green have been up to recently  in the community.
