Funeral home to unveil new charity partner

A NEW funeral home is preparing to unveil the name of its chosen charity partner at its first open event in November.

Charity, cakes and coffins will be the focus of the event on Thursday, November 15 between 5pm and 7pm at Southern Co-op's funeral home on 128 Albert Road.

 Co-ordinator Laura Thomason said: '˜Funerals have never been an easy thing to think about or to plan for but, there are a lot of pre-paid funeral packages being advertised, so it is more confusing than ever.' The charity partner was selected following a nomination appeal. Â
