Twenty four white doves were released at the start of the service followed by the carol, “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” sung by the Fareham Philharmonic choir. Rowans Hospice Chaplain, Lance Blake, gave a reading before the lighting of the remembrance candle which was floated on the lake with a minute’s silence to remember the deceased. Further carols were sung before those gathered were invited to place a mini lantern on their loved one’s individual grave site. Complimentary mince pies and mulled wine were served with the help of the Fareham Support Group from the Rowans Hospice. This year 2013 calendars were also sold, featuring stunning scenes of the memorial gardens. Katy Watson, Office Manager, said “It was a lovely day and very well supported by all our helpers and volunteers. It is nice to know that at a very sad time of year we are still able to offer comfort to the bereaved families”. If you would like to purchase a calendar for £3.99 each, then please contact the office on 01329 828250.
