News
We have just opened a new branch in Billericay. This is much closer to Herongate Wood than the previous branch in Chelmsford. You now have the choice of meeting us at Chelmsford, Billericay or at Herongate Wood Cemetery, which ever is most convient for you.
The new address is 19 Greens Farm Lane, Billericay, Essex CM11 2EZ
Telephone number: 01277 633085
CHRISTMAS MEMORIAL CONCERT 2009
We had a lovely concert this year and I really enjoyed meeting all our families who made themselves known to us. This year Susanna a member of the Salvation Army not only made all the introductions but also gave several beautiful solos. Our thanks are really to you as you generously donated a total of £1172, including donations from families unable to attend but wishing to support this worthy cause.
Please make a note in your diaries for next year's concert, Saturday 4th December 2010.
On a different note, we also wanted to reassure you that any items left on graves over the Christmas period will not be removed before Twelfth Night, 6th January 2010. If you would like the item back, please retrieve and take it home before this date.
NEW AWARD
We thought you might like to see a photo of us receiving an 'Excellence in Bereavement Award' from the Society of Bereavements Practitioners. This award was for our quality of service and outstanding level of care. We were nominated for the award by one of our families and supported by several others. We try very hard and we appreciate that our efforts are recognised by this award.
In the photo are three generations of Herongate Wood founders: Jackie Sawtell, daughter Isabella Sawtell, Ray Ward (Senior Partner), Tony Sawtell, Rev. Stephen Callander (Founding Director of the Society) and Tony Piper (Assistant Director).
