Central England Co-operative Funeralcare is offering members of the public a unique opportunity to have a guided tour of a new funeral home in Nottingham.
Staff at the new site in High Road, Chilwell, will give people in the area the chance to ask any questions they may have about funerals and funeral planning as part of a special open day in April.
Visitors will also be able to take a look around at the new £375,000 home, which will operate a major hub for other Central England Co-op funeral homes in the area.
Funeral Director Ruth Bartlett said: “This is a very exciting time for my team and we are proud to be part of the community in Nottingham.
“Our first priority is to enhance memories and love for all of our families and we are very pleased to offer that at our new home in the area.
“We feel it reflects our commitment to providing excellent standards of care for our families during their time of bereavement.
“We cannot wait to have our special open day so members of the public can learn more about the home and my team and also help us celebrate the official opening at the same time.
“We look forward to seeing everyone on the day and showing you our new surroundings.”
The open day will begin with a special dedication ceremony at 10.30am on Saturday, 28 April and will then be followed by guided tours, visits by motorcycle and horse drawn hearses and refreshments.
Ruth and her team can be contacted for more information on 0115 6972826.
The funeral home offers a 24-hour service, seven days a week. In addition to arranging funerals, they are also able to offer advice on floral tributes, monumental masonry, funeral stationery, pre-paid funeral plans and probate advice.
