Remembrance Day at Herne Bay Crematorium

Herne Bay Crematorium is holding a special Open Chapel event on Sunday 10 November to mark Remembrance Sunday.

 

The event, which offers an opportunity to spend time in the chapel for a quiet moment of reflection, will take place between 10am and 12noon, with a two-minute silence being observed at 11am.

 

Visitors will also be able to write a letter or card which can be placed into the crematorium’s Letters to Loved Ones memorial post box.

 

No booking is required for anyone to attend the Open Chapel event.

 

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

 

Manager Damien Corlett-Oates said: “Honouring lives of people who have passed on is a big part of what we do here and it feels fitting that we should commemorate Remembrance.

 

“As a nation, it’s important that we never forget those who gave their lives for us.

 

“Everyone is welcome to join us at our open chapel event to reflect on and remember those who fought and died in the armed forces.”
