A CREMATORIA group is set to broadcast a special service this Mother's Day.
Westerleigh Group, a leading developer and operator of crematoria and cemeteries, says it is determined to make sure families are able to celebrate their loved ones this mothers day even whilst in lockdown.
On March 14, the group will be running a special Mother’s Day service which will then be broadcast on the group’s social media channels and websites including those belonging to Test Valley and Wessex Vale Crematoria.

The service will take place at the newly-opened Sirhowy Valley Crematorium in Caerphilly County Borough, Wales, but will be shared with 34 other sites nationwide run by Westerleigh Group.
The services is expected to last around 45 minutes and will include prayers, hymns and readings.
Chief Executive Officer Roger Mclaughlan, said: "Mother’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost loved ones.
“Lockdown restrictions will prevent many people from being able to remember their mothers in the way they would wish to.
“That’s why we wanted to provide this Mother’s Day service, to bring some comfort to people and to enable them to feel that they are honouring their lost loved ones in a special way."
