Funerals by the River

❤️Posting with kind permission from the family.

Where do I start? What a beautiful family celebrating Sheila’s life: a much-loved Wife, Mum, Grandma and friend to so many.

It started with a relaxed drink overlooking the river and ended the same way, toasting a wonderful and special life on the terrace.

The room was ‘dressed’ to perfection, with small but significant touches, flowers, photographs, memory notes, and items made by Sheila herself.

A ‘celebration of life’ means an uplifting service, with respect, dignity, laughter, many happy memories and of course a few tears. The family achieved all this, and included all the usual elements of a service: music, a hymn, prayers, and a photograph slideshow.

The champagne toast was a wonderful final touch, before leading into a tranquil and spacious reception accompanied by a live pianist.

If you’re looking for an extra special and memorable place to hold a funeral service, look no further than Funerals By The River, we’ll help you make it happen.

I left you a little white feather
I placed it right there in your way
I wrapped it in love with a message
to let you know you'll be okay.

I drew you a colourful rainbow
It followed your car for a while
I made it a beautiful rainbow
I hoped it would show me your smile.

I flew down a beautiful robin
It landed right there on your ledge
I prayed he would give you the strength
to push yourself back from the edge.

I try every day to remind you
that I never did go away
the feathers, the rainbows, the robins
are my way of trying to stay.

Welcome to Funerals by the River at the Captain’s Club Hotel and Spa.

Funerals by the River was borne from the realisation that more and more people want an uplifting funeral where they can celebrate the life of their loved one in a beautiful setting.

In recent years, funerals have changed. Families want a more positive service that will inspire a smile, or even a laugh, when remembering a relative or friend.

A beautiful service held at the Captain’s Club Hotel and Spa overlooking the River Stour, Funerals by the River offers a calm and serene setting to remember together, with no clocks ticking and no overlapping services. Which means you get to say goodbye in your own time, in your own way.

Following on from the service, a reception can be held within the service room with various bar and catering packages available. From the CaptaIn’s Club award winning kitchen, there’s a delicious menu available to satisfy everyone’s taste buds.
