Mansfield Crematorium is inviting families to visit and commemorate the lives of fathers and father figures.

Families are invited to visit the Thoresby Chapel on Sunday 15 June at 10.30am for a special Father’s Day memorial service. The service is expected to last around 45 minutes and offers a moment of reflection and remembrance.

The service will be led by civil celebrant Phillip Dackombe along with guest speakers.

Ady Selby, Assistant Director for Neighbourhoods, said: "Father’s Day can be a particularly poignant time for those who have lost their father or father figure.

“Every year, we welcome many families to our grounds who come to lay flowers and commemorate their loved ones around Father’s Day.

“We hope that families will find comfort in their visit to us again this year.”

People are invited to remember their lost loved ones by submitting images, which will be displayed during the service. If you would like an image to be displayed, please email it to crematorium@mansfield.gov.uk before 11 June 2025. You should get an email confirming that your photos have been received.

The Book of Remembrance will also be open at the crematorium on Sunday 15 June from 10am to 4pm. The crematorium grounds will be open for members of the public to lay flowers outside.
