Mothers’ Day Marked By Lodge Brothers Esher

Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors Esher staff remembered those Mothers no longer with us by displaying flowers and a beautiful poem in the branch windows, inviting all to come in and share their special memories.

District Manager Bill Wilde said “It is a special time of year to celebrate our Mothers, and at Lodge Brothers we wanted to be able to offer the local community the chance to remember those who are no longer with us. Mums may have passed away but it doesn’t mean that we ever forget them.
Many passers by have come into the branches to say how much they have enjoyed the displays and the efforts of the staff”.

Lodge Brothers funeral directors Chertsey and Lodge Brothers funeral directors Hampton Hill as well as all the other Lodge Brother funeral directors throughout the UK joined in the Easter festivities by decorating their shop front and joining the community with various initiatives:

Easter Gifts for Sutton Lodge Nursing Home

Funeral Arranger Jackie Packman from Lodge Brothers in Weybridge, paid a visit to the residents of Sutton Lodge, the local nursing home in Weybridge, to deliver hot cross buns and daffodils. Jackie said, “I have delivered Easter treats to Sutton Lodge for the past three years and it is lovely to see the smiles on the faces of the residents when I visit them. I really enjoy having a chat and being able to give these small gifts to brighten up their day”.

Lodge Brothers funeral directors Ashford and funeral directors Woking as well as the rest of the many Lodge Brothers branches throughout the UK, are passionate about making arrangements easier and less of a burden for memorials and funeral of loved ones. They are also compassionate individuals who strive to make a difference within the community in any way possible.

On a recent visit to Lodge Brothers funeral directors Englefield Green, Mr John Scott MBE, the driving force behind the Englefield Green Memorial Project, thanked staff for their continued support.

The memorial will carry over 200 names in total, including 91 buried in war graves in the cemetery and 117 village residents who lost their lives in both World Wars.

Fund raising efforts continue in the area – the current figure stands at £24,313 and the target is £60,000.

IF WE DO NOTHING, THEIR NAMES WILL BE LOST FOREVER

Contact Lodge Brothers funeral directors Chertsey

A Woking man has devoted the last few months to putting together a display to commemorate not only all those who lost their lives in the two World Wars and later conflicts, but also in memory of his Father and Son.

Neville Lazenby wanted to create the display to thank Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors of Goldsworth Road, for the way they looked after his son Steven after he died of a brain tumour in January 2012.  Neville and his wife Janette have remained in contact with Paul Thurtle (Branch Manager) since Paul arranged their son’s funeral.

In this very special year marking the 100th anniversary of Britain entering the First World War, Neville decided to design and build a window display for the Woking Branch of Lodge Brothers.

The picture shows Neville and Paul with the display.

Neville has included a picture of his father, Sergeant Ralph Lazenby who died in 2003.  He was an original member of the SAS in 1941.  He was sent out to the Middle East, was captured and then imprisoned in Stalag 357.

Also remembered in the display is Woking resident Walter ‘Charlie’ Brown OBE who died in 2010.

Neville also included in the display four detailed replica figures of soldiers from his collection.  The soldiers and the display have been causing a lot of interest from local people passing by the window.

Paul and all the Lodge Brothers branches such as Funeral Directors Ashford, Funeral Directors Feltham, Funeral Directors Woking, Funeral Directors Chertsey and Funeral Directors Englefield Green are extremely grateful to Neville and Janette for their generosity in using their time and talents to create a fantastic window display.
