Funeral firm lights up woodland

Wathall’s funeral directors has continued its support for a heritage wood by contributing to the sponsorship of its illuminated woodland walk.

Visitors to Heritage Wood, at Ednaston, over two weekends in November and December can follow a beautiful trail of sparkling lights, see a rainbow of lasers and delight in a musical light show on the lake and then enjoy refreshments and stalls.

The latest support from Wathall’s has contributed towards lighting around the contemplation clearing where the company has previously installed a 6ft stainless steel dandelion structure and a sturdy oak table and bench for visitors to sit and remember loved ones.

The illuminated woodland walks will take place between Friday November 25 and Sunday November 27 and then Friday December 2 to Sunday November 4 between 4.30pm and 7.15pm.

Helen Wathall MBE, from Wathall’s, said: “Heritage Wood is a popular place to dedicate a tree and we have always enjoyed visiting the natural woodland as a family because it is so peaceful and tranquil and the perfect place to be at one with nature.

“I am delighted to now be supporting the illuminated woodland walk, which is a popular annual celebration of this special place and look forward to enjoying the uplifting atmosphere with the other visitors.”
