Families are invited to a light a candle in memory of loved ones.
Funeral director Janet Davies and the Rev Phillip Need are holding a thanksgiving service at St Mary’s Church in Bocking on Sunday.
Family members will be given a candle during the ceremony and asked to bring it to the altar along with their loved ones name for a blessing.
Ms Davies said: “I would like to assure those who wish to attend that we respect that bereavement affects families in many different ways and that each family will have their own methods of handling their loss.”
