At Christmas time Whitehouse Funeral Service display Remembrance Trees in the reception areas of Darlington and Newton Aycliffe offices.

Families who have lost loved ones during that year are invited to hang remembrance tags on the tree and in return make a donation to our nominated charity.

Over the years the funeral service has donated thousands of pounds to local charities and worthy causes.

This year the Darlington Office is supporting Macmillan Cancer Support North East to conclude a year long pledge to this fabulous charity. However they are looking for two local charities to support from the Newton Aycliffe Office.

Do you know a local Newton Aycliffe based charity or worthy cause, big or small, that would benefit from a donation?

They need your suggestions as soon as possible through either social media, email (enquiries@whitehousefuneralservice) or telephone 01325 318600.
