At 7pm this evening, everyone is encouraged to light a candle (if safe to do so) and place it in their window for an hour to create a Wave of Light to recognise the final evening of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

The candles provide a poignant way to remember those babies who have died too soon, during pregnancy, still birth or in the early stages of infancy.

The Wave Of Light illuminated at 7pm across different time zones create a continuous wave across the globe. It brings communities, friends and families together, to remind those who have lost someone that they are not alone.

By doing this together, it helps break the silence surrounding baby loss and enables conversations to grow and show support for bereaved parents.

If you can, please light a candle, show your support and remember all those who have gone too soon.

This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week (9th-15th) and is an opportunity to bring us together as a community and give anyone touched by pregnancy and baby loss a safe and supportive space to share their experiences and feel that they are not alone.

Throughout this week there are a number of events taking place to spread the word that help and support is available.

On Thursday evening (15th) at 7.00pm, the week concludes with a Wave of Light, where everyone is encouraged to light a candle (if safe to do so) and place it your window for an hour.

Today we attended the 60th Anniversary Event at Chilterns Crematorium, near Amersham. M. K. Ginder & Sons Funeral Directors have been helping families arrange funerals at Chilterns Crematorium for over 40 years, when families have chosen to go there, because it’s nearer to home, the location of a previous family funeral or because of the beautiful gardens which surround it.

Today’s event highlighted major milestones of the past and the exceptional customer service provided now and for the future.

Happy Anniversary to all the team at Chilterns Crematorium.

Today marks the 43rd Anniversary of M. K. Ginder & Sons Funeral Directors opening in Watford, Hertfordshire to serve the local families and communities as the Independent Family-Run Funeral Directors.

Founded by Martyn Ginder, to provide a caring and supportive service which offered choices to families and the opportunity to arrange a funeral which truly reflected the person who had passed away.

Now in its 2nd Generation, with seven offices across South West Hertfordshire, the family-run business continues to provide the highest levels of standards to the families we serve.

The story of our first 43 years has been one of service, dignity and respect, and we look forward to growing our story for many more years to come.
