The Great Northern - Burton Upon Trent

21/11/2025

Our Dad’s funeral will take place on Thursday 4th December at 12pm at Gedling Crematorium (NG4 4QH), followed by a private family burial.

Family flowers only. If you wish to, donations can be made to the Nottingham Forest Community Trust to support less fortunate children — a cause close to Dad’s heart. A donation box will be available at the service for anyone who would like to contribute.

After the service, we’ll be going to The Lambley Pub (NG4 4PN) for a few drinks to celebrate Dad’s life.
Everyone who knew and loved him is warmly welcome to join us.

We would love as many of Dad’s friends and acquaintances to attend.

Lizzy, Lynsey and Wayne
