Carol Service 2015

On Friday 12th December the Annual Carol Service at Barham Crematorium was led by Revd Stephen Hardy, Priest in Charge, St. John The Baptist Church Barham, assisted by Sue Baumbach, a local Funeral Celebrant.

The Service held in Association with the Pilgrims Hospice “Light up a Life” featured traditional Carols and the telling of the Christmas Story alongside the lighting of the Christmas tree, a poignant moment after which the congregation were invited to place Memorial tags dedicated to their loved ones on the tree.

The Traditional reading from St Luke’s Gospel was read by Mark Woollard, President of the SAIF. Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors, who attended in his Official capacity.

After the Service Tea Coffee and Mince pies were served. The Christmas tree has been placed in the Book of Remembrance Room where it will stay until New Year’s Day and tags are available to place on the tree throughout the Christmas period.

My sincere thanks to all who supported the Service, the Clergy, Celebrant, the Pilgrims Hospice and the staff at Barham, that made this important event a success.
