Arrangements for the funeral of Kenneth Horton Tuesday 29th May 2018 at Midday at Cookhill Village Hall
Family and friends are gathering at Cookhill Village Hall to acknowledge Ken's death, and to celebrate his life.
A farewell service will take place in the village hall, starting at midday.
After the service, those that wish to, will travel in convoy for the short distance from the village hall to Westall Park Natural Burial Ground. Here a few more words will be spoken before Ken is laid to rest.
Refreshments will be served back in Cookhill Village Hall after the burial from around 2pm.
The service and burial will be quite informal and will be wholly reflective of Ken.

Dress Code Westall Park is a field which can get muddy, so suitable footwear is advisable. Equally in hot weather the long grass can hide flies and midges so fly spray can be useful, along with hats and sunglasses.
There is no particular dress code for the day, please wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Flowers / Donations Ken's family ask that if you bring flowers they are only a simple stem or posy picked from your own garden.
If you would like to make a donation in Ken's memory, we will be holding a collection on the day of the funeral for Cerebal Palsy Midlands, the charity that supports Nick Cookhill Village Hall
