I LOVE this!!! What an amazing thing to do 🥰💙
Edit: We’d like to share more about the story behind Reading Crematorium’s new ‘Letters to Heaven’ post box, donated by Nicola and Will Middleton in loving memory of their baby boy, Leo 🤍
Through Will’s incredible fundraising efforts, Nicola and Will have made this heartfelt addition possible. In May, Will ran the challenging Thames Path 100, raising over £4000 for The Willows Support Group which has supported Nicola and Will and continues to support so many families like them, after this devastating type of loss.
Nicola and Will have also worked closely with Overbury who have kindly dedicated their time and expertise to renovate the Baby Area in the Memorial Garden at Reading Crematorium. The couple hope that this space can now provide families with a peaceful and tranquil place to reflect and remember, dedicated to all the babies taken too soon, always loved and never forgotten.
Thanks to the Middleton family, this special space is a lasting tribute to their beloved Leo and is now a comforting place for all families to remember their loved ones.

Visitors to Reading Cemetery and Crematorium are invited to send a message to a loved one they have lost, using the new 'Letters to Heaven' post box installed this week 🕊
Located on Path Four of the Gardens of Remembrance, the new white postbox is for the use of anyone who may benefit from it. People are welcome to post letters, postcards, birthday cards, anniversary cards, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards or Christmas cards – any simple written format you want it to be, regardless of when their loved one passed away, or where their funeral service took place
Every letter or card put into the memorial post box is treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality when it is emptied, they are stored securely before cremation and are never opened or read
