Parndon Wood Crematorium

Special collaboration with World Land Trust alert!

Between 9 September and 6 October, every memorial purchased will trigger a £100 donation from Westerleigh Group to the Trust’s Buy an Acre programme, protecting some of the world’s most threatened habitats.

This is more than a memorial; it’s a joint commitment to preserve the memories of a loved one and the future of our planet. Together, we can make a difference.

What a beautiful thank you from a lovely family to our Memorial Advisor Lily 🌹🥰

Our Memorial Advisor Lily attended Plant Pots and Wellies last month after we made a recent donation. Plant Pots and Wellies help to support children and adults with additional needs by providing horticultural and outdoor therapy.

We hope this donation will help to extend their allotment for the children and to help create the section themed around kid's books.

A few weeks ago our memorial advisor Lily had the opportunity to visit the wonderful Plant Pots and Wellies and donate £3000 from Parndon Wood.

They are a wonderful community incentive that provides a range of outdoor experiences and horticulture therapy for children and adults. Lily had a tour of the allotments and got to try the homegrown fruits on offer!🫐🍓

We are thrilled to announce that we have donated £3,000 to St Clare Hospice! 🎉

This incredible charity provides vital support to hundreds of people in West Essex and East Hertfordshire. Their specialist palliative care helps improve the lives of those affected by terminal illnesses.

The donation was made possible through our metal recycling scheme, showing how small actions can make a big difference. Thank you to St Clare Hospice for all the incredible work they do!

Today we recognise National Bereaved Parents Day to raise awareness of all parents who have lost a child of any age.

We honour and remember the precious lives that are no longer with us and extend our deepest sympathies to their families. If you know someone who has lost a child, reach out with a kind word or a hug. Your support can make a world of difference.

Our grounds are a welcoming place to reflect and offer a quiet moment of peace for those wanting to honour their loved ones today.

Today we are remembering fathers and father figures and our thoughts are with everyone who is missing theirs.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a day that changed the course of history. Let's take a moment to honour and remember the brave soldiers who fought and sacrificed for our freedom. Their courage will never be forgotten.

'The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor even touched, but just felt in the heart.'

Join us this Father's Day to pay tribute to your father and father figures and celebrate the lives of your loved ones.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Today marks what has popularly become known as Blue Monday – deemed the most challenging day of the year due to a blend of post-holiday blues, cold dark nights, and financial pressures.
