A time to remember. To remember the birth of our Lord. To remember the passing of our loved ones.
With the increased use of cremations remembrance has become more personalised. Some scatter ashes in places fondly remembered. Some keep the urn on the mantelpiece. Our attempt ended in disaster when the ashes of an aunt blew away from her parents’ grave onto surrounding memorials.
We prefer to make the annual pilgrimage to the village cemetery. This year, with restricted travel, we have placed the wreath on a table in the garden.
Being part of our commemorative bubble feels so right.

How timely and moving Brian. Shortly before Christmas we were able to visit en-passant the headstone in a pretty Suffolk village underneath which lie the ashes of my wife’s parents. It was a good feeling to remember them in that way. My own dear parents have no such headstone, but nonetheless, they exist in my head, for always.
