It’s Christmas… and someone is missing
Christmas is a season of good cheer and precious family time. But for some, the joy of Christmas can be overshadowed by the sad memories of someone close who is no longer there. There may be one less stocking hanging on the mantle, and one less place set at the table.
There is something you can do. If you know someone who has suffered a loss, get in touch with them this Christmas; give them a call, invite them around for dinner or drop in with some homemade baking. Show them you care… because it’s Christmas.
Our team at Bay Cremation Care would like to thank everyone on Neighbourly for being a valued part of our community and for supporting our business this year. Have a joyous and safe festive season.
