Precious Moment

07/11/2024

Yesterday we said goodbye to 95 years of life, 80 years as a couple, 72 years married. 2 people 1 life. 'Hands joined together on the path they walked along. Two hands held together their whole life long. Hands, hearts and lives joined together, from this life to the next.'

Tea plays a part in many traditions and in China a tea ceremony is carried out before a couple marry. I have adapted this ceremony to suit any newly committed, engaged, about to wed, couples who would like to show their gratitude to their parents or grandparents. There are many couples whose grandparents, due to age and health, are unable to attend their wedding. A tea ceremony is a way to include them in the marriage without attending the wedding ceremony. Making a special part of this time all about them. This can be done in their own home or at a venue with other guests. For more details, please contact me for more details.

Whilst Aldershot Crematorium undergoes a major refurbishment services will be relocated to this sweet chapel in Redan Road Cemetery. The team have taken a lot of care and time getting the chapel ready with flower area, waiting room and more. Will be very suitable for small, intimate ceremonies.
