Ron sadly suffered with blood cancer for at least a year needing regular and ever increasing blood transfusions and was looked after with love and support by the Macmillian Cancer Team. As such to increase a spotlight on them and also provide additional funding for future research, this is The family and Ron's choice of charity.

Ron was not big on funeral flowers and would much prefer whatever you may have spent to be donated to a cause close to his heart.

If you are attending his funeral there will be a donation box with the funeral director - This way we can ensure 100 percent of your donation reaches Macmillan. If you cannot attend this gives you an opportunity to donate as per his wishes and also leave a message.

Memoria are proud to be partnering with Macmillan Cancer Support. There are currently 3 million people living with cancer in the UK, with someone receiving a cancer diagnosis every two minutes. We know that one in two people in the UK will experience a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.

For more than 100 years Macmillan has been there for people with cancer when they needed them most. Today is no exception!

Cancer is not going anywhere. And neither can Macmillan.

Join us in supporting Macmillan, so they can keep providing physical, financial and emotional support to the millions of people that count on them.
