I wanted to say how absolutely wonderful you were at organising my mum's funeral on July 2nd. We could not have gone through it all without your calm, professional and experienced support. You were amazing leading up to the day as well as at the church and crematorium. You do such a wonderful job at a time when people are preoccupied with grief and unable to think straight. Thank you so very very much.
Thank you for all the help you gave to the family at the time of their bereavement and especially on the day of her funeral. When someone dies peacefully and painlessly at the age of 97 it is not really a sad occasion, but a time to celebrate a long life well lived. Nevertheless it is a confusing and uncertain time, especially with current restrictions. So to have you guide us through all of the necessary bureaucracy and to do it with compassion and professionalism was well appreciated by all the family. We shared the flowers and it has given us a lovely taste of spring in the house, and helped to bring back lots of memories of my mother's beautiful garden.
I am writing to thank you and your team very much for arranging my Aunt's funeral last week. It is daunting when you have never had to make arrangements like this before, but you personally made it very straightforward and easy for me. The family were very pleased with the service and the way it was managed and I am very grateful to you all. I felt that it was a celebration of her life and a lovely send off for her after a long and full life. Despite the pandemic it all went smoothly without any hitches.

In the quaint city of Bath, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, lies a place of quiet reflection and musical history – the Eddie Cochran Memorial at St Martins Hospital.

Eddie Cochran was born on 3rd October, 1938, in Albert Lea, Minnesota. He was a rising start in the late 1950’s rock ‘n’ roll scene. With his infectious energy, soulful voice, and guitar skills, Cochran captured the hearts and audiences worldwide. Hits like “Summertime Blues” and “C’mon Everybody” cemented his place in music history, earning him a devoted following and inspiring countless artists in the decades to come.

Tragically, Cochran’s meteoric rise came to an abrupt end on 17th April, 1960, when he was involved in a fatal car accident while on tour in the UK. The accident occurred in Chippenham and he was rushed for medical treatment at St Martins Hospital, despite the efforts of doctors and medical staff, Cochran succumbed to his injuries at the young age of 21, leaving behind a legacy that would endure long after his passing.

In the years following Cochran’s death, fans from around the world have made pilgrimages to the crash site and St Martins Hospital to pay their respects. It was in recognition of this enduring outpouring of love and admiration that the Eddie Cochran Memorial was established on the hospital grounds.

Nestled in the tranquil surroundings of the hospital grounds, the memorial offers visitors a serene space for contemplation and remembrance. A simple plaque bearing Cochran’s name and a brief inscription stands as testament to his life and music, while nearby trees and greenery provide a peaceful backdrop for reflection.

So, the next time you find yourself in Bath, take a moment to visit the Eddie Cochran Memorial at St Martins Hospital. Pay your respects, soak in the tranquillity of the surroundings and remember the life and music of a true rock ‘n’ roll legend whose legacy continues to inspire us all.
