A TROWBRIDGE crematorium is hosting a special event to remember loved ones and support charity at the same time.
West Wiltshire Crematorium, in Semington, Trowbridge, has joined up with Cruse Bereavement Support to host a Light up the Night evening on Wednesday, November 2, between 5pm and 8pm.
The event is free to attend but donations will be welcome for Cruse.
It is hoped that lighting up a dark November night with candles will help show off the 10-acre site in a new light.
Site Manager Louise Belsey said: “Light up the Night has been created to give friends and family an opportunity for shared remembrance of lost loved ones in a place of unique calm, peace, hope and community.
“The candles will be LED ones, so they are re-usable, which we know is important to people and helps reinforce Westerleigh Group’s commitment to being as environmentally-friendly as possible.
“We look forward to showing visitors our beautiful grounds out of season, while supporting a very relevant charity.”
The event is open to people of all religions, or no religion.
Louise said: “It should be a truly moving experience, open for anybody to drop by and walk, linger, light up an LED candle and remember family and friends, past and present.”
