The service at the crematorium off London Road will be led by celebrant Philip Davies and the Rev. Nick Webb, with musical accompaniment from the Vocalease Choir, who are set to create a comforting and uplifting atmosphere.

The event on Thursday, December 4, begins at 7pm with doors open and refreshments available from 6.15pm.

A spokesperson for Emstrey Crematorium & Cemetery said: "This special event offers an opportunity to honour and remember loved ones during the festive season.

"Join us for an evening of music, reflection, and community spirit."
