AHEAD of Mother’s Day, local people are being invited to visit the Borders Crematorium’s chapel on Saturday March 18 between 10am and 12 noon for a quiet moment of contemplation in memory of those they have lost.
Reflective music will be played in the chapel, which will be decorated with flowers.

In addition, the crematorium is offering a contribution of up to £500 towards the personalisation of new granite memorials.
The personalisation can include hand-designed artwork, such as portraits, club crests, animals, hobbies, places of interest and so on, or a picture of a loved one transferred onto a ceramic plaque and placed on the granite stone.
Judith Emond, Site Manager at Borders Crematorium, said: “Mother’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost their mum or mother-figure, or for mothers who have been bereaved of a child.

“We hope that visiting us will bring comfort to anyone who needs it during this special time of the year, as will our special offer for the personalisation of new granite memorials, which will help make people’s ideas a reality and provide a unique and very personal tribute to their loved one.”
The offer runs from March 6 and 26 (terms and conditions apply).
