WREATH LAYING CEREMONY
Organisations or private people wanting to lay a wreath please contact Richard Hawkins on 3289 9208 email hawkins.family1@bigpond.com or Allan Kilby on 3425 1122 email allan.kilby@gmail.com Private people wishing to lay a wreath, can, if desired state the person it is memory of and it will be announced when the person is called forward. This extends the time taken for the wreath laying ceremony but we think the extra time taken is worth it. Due to lack of flowers available at this time of year it would be appreciated if the person or organisation could supply their own wreath.
