On the 19th February 2025, we lovingly laid Anthea Ward to
rest, surrounded by the warmth of her family's memories. The
following day, on the 20th February 2025, her peaceful
cremation took place, marking a poignant moment of reunion.
In the quiet morning, under slightly cloudy skies, our guardians
Keith and Craig, who also serves as our compassionate funeral
director, gently took Anthea into their care for her final
journey to Braintree's Three Counties Crematorium. The air
was cool, yet serene, fitting for the solemnity of the occasion.
Before the service commenced, Craig ensured that every
detail was meticulously arranged in the chapel, from the
comforting music Anthea loved, to the attentive presence of
the chapel attendant. As the music began softly, Craig
respectfully led Anthea's procession to the catafalque, where
she was tenderly placed in her final resting position.
Our dedicated team, alongside the chapel attendant, stood
together in quiet reverence, bowing respectfully as the
curtains gently closed, marking the end of Anthea's earthly journey.

Throughout the service, a beautiful floral tribute adorned
Anthea's coffin, a personal touch that added warmth and
comfort to the ceremony, reflecting the love and care shared by all who knew her.
