A special Christmas carol memorial service is set to take place.

The event will be held on Tuesday, December 3, at 6.30pm at the Southern Co-operative Funeralcare in The Fairway, Lake.

The service aims to bring the local community together ahead of the festive period, acknowledging the difficulties faced by those who have suffered a bereavement.

Attendees will have the chance to hang a star on the Christmas memorial tree in memory of lost loved ones.

Father Tony Lawrence will lead the service, offering words of comfort, while the Salvation Army will provide the carols.

The funeral home is also taking donations of blankets, joggers or jumpers, and Christmas puddings on behalf of the Salvation Army.

Individuals are invited to contribute to this community initiative.
