A SPECIAL memorial service remembering friends and family members who are no longer with us will be held at the chapel at Worcester Crematorium next week.

Mayor Alan Amos and soloist Ruth Bullock will be in attendance at the service in Astwood Road from 2pm on Sunday, December 7.

All are welcome.

A memorial Christmas tree will be in the chapel from Wednesday, December 3 until Thursday, January 8 for people to decorate with a tag or bauble with their own message. Afterwards all messages will be written in a memorial book to be stored in The Hive.

Anyone who cannot attend the service can send messages to the Friends of Astwood Cemetery, Astwood Cemetery, Astwood Road, Worcs WR3 8HA or via foac@sky.com.
