At Hartys of Chester, we understand that every family’s journey through grief is different. Saying goodbye is deeply personal, and there is no single approach that suits everyone.
We are now offering a carefully designed intimate memorial service option in our Service Chapel in Handbridge, Chester, providing families with the opportunity to gather, reflect, and remember in a calm and supportive setting.
A Thoughtful Option Following Direct Cremation
For many families, direct cremation is the right decision, offering simplicity and flexibility at a difficult time.
However, we have noticed that some people later feel the need for a shared moment of remembrance, a chance to pause, reflect, and come together with those closest to them.
With care and sensitivity, we have seen how the absence of a shared farewell can have an emotional impact for some families over time.
In response, we have thoughtfully created a memorial service option in Chester that offers a gentle opportunity to remember a life in a meaningful way.
A Small, Intimate Service in Our Handbridge Chapel
Our Service Chapel in Handbridge is suited to up to 15 family members or close friends, making it ideal for those who prefer a quieter, more personal gathering.
This intimate memorial service may be held following a direct cremation or as a standalone service of remembrance. There is no set format, each service is created around what feels right for the family.
What Our Memorial Service Option Includes
Our Chester memorial service option can be tailored to your wishes and may include:
- A minister to lead the service, offering gentle guidance and structure
- Bespoke designed orders of service booklets
- The choice of music, readings, or shared reflections
- Live streaming of the service, allowing family and friends who are unable to attend in person to take part remotely
Even if another funeral director looked after your loved one, we can still provide a meaningful memorial service and take care of any arrangements you need to honour their memory.
Our experienced team will take care of every detail, ensuring the service is handled with professionalism, warmth, and care.
Continuing the Day, If You Wish
For families who would like to spend more time together afterwards, we can also provide our immaculate galaxy blue, jaguar limousine.
This allows you to travel on from the memorial service to a chosen venue, where family and friends may wish to raise a glass, share memories, or continue the day together in a more informal setting.
A Modern Memorial Service, Designed Around You
This memorial service is not about revisiting decisions or looking back with regret. It simply recognises that grief can change over time, and that some families find comfort in an additional opportunity to come together and remember.
