Lancaster and Morecambe crem installs new postbox for 'Letters to Heaven'

The new Letters to Heaven postbox at Lancaster and Morecambe Crematorium

Lancaster and Morecambe Crematorium has installed a special postbox so people can post 'Letters to Heaven'.

The new postbox is located in the Memorial Gardens and enables families and friends to write letters or cards to their loved ones who have passed away.

This could be for a birthday or Christmas, or just becase you want to share something important with your loved one.

The white postbox is located next to the car park and available for all to use.

"Please be assured that anything placed in there is treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality," said a spokesperson for the Crematorium.

"They are never opened or read and using an eco friendly method they will eventually be turned into compost which is then used in our memorial gardens to ensure they never leave the site.

"We can provide special note paper and envelopes so if you would like to write a message then you can pop in and have a brew and a biscuit in our family room or alternatively take it home to write in your own time.

"We hope you agree that this is a beautiful addition to our grounds and we hope that in some way it will help bring you comfort by allowing you to feel a connection to your loved ones."
