At Westerleigh Group, we’re introducing a new, personalised way for families to celebrate their loved ones—through music. Our team at West Lancashire Cemetery & Crematorium has partnered with Our Song Request and their founder Colin Boston to offer custom song tributes, crafted with care to reflect cherished memories. This service allows families to shape a unique song that brings comfort and honours a loved one's legacy in a beautiful way. If it resonates, we hope to expand it across more of our sites across the UK soon. Learn more about this tribute option here: https://ow.ly/kJjn50U2kh2
