Remembrance Service
Open invitation to local residents
Local residents are being invited to Carlisle Cemetery's Annual
Babies' Memorial Service this Saturday (8 September) at 3pm.
Held within the Carlisle Cemetery Chapel, Richardson Street, the
short service is not only open for parents who have recently lost a
baby or child but for anyone who has ever suffered a loss.
The Mayor of Carlisle, Cllr Mrs Elizabeth Mallinson and her
Consort Cllr John Mallinson will be in attendance.
The annual remembrance event will be led by Reverend Pam Swift
(Chaplain at the Cumberland Infirmary) and will include hymns,
prayers and blessings. During the service, parents will be asked to
come forward and receive a carnation in memory of those they have
lost. These are then place on individual graves within the Babies'
Memorial Garden.
A collection will also be taken, on the day, for the Cumberland
Infirmary's Special Care Baby Unit.
