FAMILIES have the chance to commemorate the lives of their fathers and father figures next Sunday June 19 2022 at the Borders Crematorium near Melrose.

The chapel is opening its doors between 10.30am and 12.30pm for a special Father’s Day moment of reflection.

Site Manager Judith Emond said: “Father’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost their father or father figure.

“Every year, we welcome many families to our grounds who come to lay flowers and commemorate their loved ones around Father’s Day.

“We hope that families will find comfort in their visit to us again this year.”

The picturesque, peaceful, grounds of the crematorium will be open as usual throughout the day, for people to enjoy and reflect.

Borders Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, the UK’s largest owner and operator of crematoria and cemeteries, with 37 sites in England, Scotland, and Wales.
