Funeral introduction by Stephen Arkell

Created by Caro 26 days ago

I would like to welcome you all and thank you for coming on this lovely Spring afternoon.
Please stay afterwards for refreshments in the adjacent Church Hall.
My mother had only recently moved to Highgate, she threw herself into activities in the local
community and made this Church, All Saints, her regular. Whilst sorting through her papers
after she had died, we found evidence that this very Church was the local Church to her
Grandparents and that her mother, Dulcie, was christened here in 1910. Mum’s Grandmother,
also a Dulcie, is buried up the road in Highgate Cemetery West-side. We felt that was a fitting coincidence.

I will now pass on the microphone to my sister and brother.
