Dear All,

As you kindly wrote to me following David’s death, I thought I’d let you know the arrangements for his funeral, though some of you will also get the information from other sources. It will take place at 1330 on Tuesday 27th February 2018 at: 

St Mary’s Church
Causeway
Horsham
West Sussex
RH12 1HE 

You cannot park in the Causeway and parking options in the immediate vicinity of the church are very limited.  We would therefore recommend you park in one of the town centre car parks and walk to the church.  Most of the car parks are within 5 - 15 minutes’ walk.  The following link: https://www.horsham.gov.uk/parking/town-centre-parking  will show you the car-parking options in the town centre, the cost and how you pay.   The closest ones to the church are:

The Forum, Blackhorse Way (5 minutes)
Denne Road (5 minutes, although this is a small car park and can be difficult to park)
Piries Place (5-10 minutes)
There is also a large multi-storey car park attached to the Swan Walk Shopping Centre but this is a slightly further walk than the others (10-15 minutes) 

Following the service those attending are invited for afternoon tea at Mannings Heath Golf Club and Wine Estate, Hammerpond Road, Mannings Heath, Horsham, West Sussex, RH13 6PG where the family will join them after a family-only burial in a local cemetery.   
 
Those planning to attend the service and wake are asked to let me know so that appropriate arrangements can be made. 

Family flowers only please.  If you wish to make a donation to charity in memory of David, the family have asked for these to be made to the RAF Benevolent Fund and/or Dementia UK.  These can be donated at the Church, sent directly to either the Funeral Director (Freeman Brothers, 9 North Parade, Horsham, West Sussex, RH12 2BF) or to the charity concerned. 

Kind Regards

Peter
