A funeral firm in Southport has had a huge response since it created a special postbox outside the premises where people can post their ‘Letters To Heaven’.
The white postbox is situated outside Southport Funeral Care, an independent family funeral directors based at 25-27 Shakespeare Street in Southport.
The postbox is a dedicated place where people can post letters to their loved ones.
It can be a letter of love, a birthday, a Christmas, an anniversary, or any message.
There is no stamp needed, while the postbox is looked after by the team at Southport Funeral Care.
A post about the new service which was posted in the Stand Up For Southport Facebook group on Saturday has been shared 170 times and has been viewed by nearly 60,000 people, with lots of heartwarming comments.
Southport Funeral Care owner Ed Mawdsley said: “We are pleased to say our Letters To Heaven postbox is proving very popular in the community.
“Anybody can use it. If it brings some comfort to children or family members sending messages for birthdays, anniversaries or any other occasion.”
