A FUNERAL director is giving people the chance to remember and celebrate the life of a lost loved one.

Hillier Funeral Services in Old Town has been providing bereavement care for six years and is holding its annual thanksgiving and remembrance service on Sunday.

The service, taking place in Christ Church, Cricklade Street, is open to anyone.

Judith Hill, assistant coordinator at Hillier Bereavement Care, said: "It is an opportunity for people to gather and remember loved ones. We encourage everyone to come and join us."

Hillier Bereavement Care is a free service offering emotional support and arranging trips for customers of Hillier Funeral Services.

Mrs Hill said: "It is a brilliant opportunity for people to meet up and socialise on a regular basis. Members go to the theatre and even on holidays together."

The service starts at 3pm and will be followed by tea in the church hall.
