A hospice is inviting people to celebrate the life of someone special by dedicating a limited edition ‘forever flower’ in their memory.
The bespoke, handcrafted forget-me-nots have been specially created for St Clare Hospice and, for a suggested donation of £28 per flower, supporters can dedicate one to their loved one.
St Clare’s individual giving manager Reah Norris said: “This summer, make a promise to always remember by dedicating one of our beautiful forever flowers in memory of someone you love and miss.
“Symbolising true love and devotion, these custom-made ironwork forget-me-nots are a beautiful keepsake for you to treasure as a lasting tribute and special reminder of the happy times you shared.
“Display them in your home, your garden, by your loved one’s grave or anywhere that is meaningful to you. Or you may choose to leave your forget-me-not in our dedicated forever flowers garden within the hospice grounds.”
Once a dedication is made, the forget-me-not flower will be available to collect in person when St Clare hosts its new forever flowers remembrance picnic at the hospice in Hastingwood Road, Hastingwood on Sunday (June 30).
Reah said: “Our family-friendly event is a chance to gather with others who have been bereaved as St Clare invites you to join us with your family and friends to celebrate and share stories in the sunshine with others who understand what you are going through.”
