Mary, our kind, beautiful, quick witted and incredibly funny Mother, and Matriarch, is sadly no longer with us, however Mary will forever be the driving force behind Measham Family Funeral Service, and will still always keep every one of us firmly in line, absolutely professional, and driven to provide complete perfection to all those who come into our care.
Mary's memory will live on through us naming our Chapel of Rest, The Mary Catherine Suite, and in doing so, we can always make sure Mary is there to watch over and protect your loved one before they depart to their final place of rest.
Not a day goes by, Mary is not in our thoughts, just as you would be in hers.
Saying goodbye...
Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy. There is no way to completely summarise an entire lifetime in a single funeral service and no amount of time will ever truly ease your loss. However, there are steps you can take to ensure control and begin managing your loss during this difficult time. Planning the perfect funeral is the first, most important step of all.
By planning a funeral service that not only captures everything unique and wonderful about your loved one's life, but also provides a safe and comfortable place for mourners to gather, you can begin the process of healing together.
Remember, we are here to help you during this difficult time.
