Scarborough Funeral Directors hold fundraising memorial service in honour of lost loved ones

The Annual Memorial Service is held especially for families who have been cared for by G Roberts Independent Family Funeral Directors, offering them a dedicated opportunity to come together in remembrance of loved ones.

The service provides a space for reflection, comfort, and shared support, and has become an important date in the calendar for many local families.

Funds were raised through a combination of a charity raffle and donations from members of the congregation, with the total further enhanced by matched funding from the company.

While the service is rooted in remembrance, it also serves a wider purpose by supporting charities that make a meaningful difference within the local community.

Now in its thirteenth year, the Annual Memorial Service has raised more than £6,000 for a wide range of local charities. Previous beneficiaries have included St Catherine’s Hospice, the RNLI, Scarborough Survivors, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and Dementia Forward — organisations that provide vital care, support, and emergency services across the region.

Organisers say the service reflects a unique part of their role within the community and highlights their ongoing commitment to care beyond the funeral itself.

G Roberts Independent Family Funeral Directors have been proud to serve local families since 1986, and the Annual Memorial Service continues to bring together remembrance, compassion, and community support.
