Carlos Medina 1951-2022

Carlos funeral details.

The service will be held:

Friday 21st October at Lodge Hill crematorium at 2.30pm. 


We have a double slot and anyone wishing to attend is extremely welcome. The service will also be web broadcast for those that cannot attend.


We are asking people to meet prior at Missing Bar on Hurst Street. The horse drawn carriage will leave Missing at 1:50pm heading to Lodge Hill.


The wake will be at The Loft on Bromsgrove Street based on it being the largest of the venues. We have purposely booked a Friday afternoon so that everyone wishing to attend the funeral and reception can go and raise a glass to him there, and in the other venues afterwards too, in true Carlos ‘man around the gay village’ style. 


We are not stipulating a dress code as Carlos had mentioned numerous themes.

If you wish to come in black, or in bright colours, feathers and sequins, it’s your choice.


Please share the message with friends and the community so we can give him the sendoff he so rightly deserves.
