Each Christmas William H Painter host our Annual Memorial Christmas Tree Campaign in the Birmingham area. Those who have lost loved ones can come into our branch and place a memorial card on our Christmas Tree, with their own message of remembrance. The Memorial messages are then blessed at a special service, creating a truly personal memory for all those involved. Anyone is welcome and our friendly staff are on hand to assist you.
