Chislehurst funeral home redesigns garden
Staff at Francis Chappell & Sons Funeral Directors in Chislehurst recently redesigned their garden area, creating an inviting and environmentally friendly space.
Funeral service arranger, Bea Osman, said: "Wildlife and the natural environment can have a huge affect upon our wellbeing if we allow ourselves to simply enjoy it. We hope our clients and colleagues who use this branch for training find the calm and tranquil area useful for gentle reflection."
The garden area features a bird feeder, bench, an array of plants and a plaque which reads: "Colours of the day dawn into the mind. The sun has come up... the night is behind."
