The service begins at 2pm and will be conducted by Rev.Lionel Fanthorpe.  Deborah Morgan Lewis will be leading the singing and the service will end at approximately 3pm.

Cabinet Member with responsibility for Bereavement Services, Cllr Michael Michael, said:  “This service allows people of all faiths to come together to remember and celebrate the lives of those they hold dear.  Losing a loved one is never easy but, for some, the opportunity to reflect and remember in a dignified manner can be a real help.”

On arrival at the chapel, visitors are invited to place a memorial card with a personal message in memory of loved ones onto a memory board which will be presented during the act of remembrance. A collection will be held during the service, in aid of the charity Tenovus Cancer Care.

Regional Fundraising Manager for Cardiff & The Vale at Tenovus Cancer Care, Alexandra Smith, said:  “We are very grateful to be the chosen charity for the Bereavement Services team at Thornhill Crematorium, and really appreciate being able to collect during their annual Palm Sunday service. The funds from this collection will go towards our unique services supporting cancer patients and their loved ones in the local community, services like our Support line which is free, available 365 days a year and for anyone who has any questions about cancer.”

Refreshments will be available at the end of the service.
