The funeral service that caters for everyone’s needs

Deborah Anne Hoare

(20th March 1962 - 2nd January 2024)

In honor of Debbie’s legacy of love and advocacy for animals, join in supporting the PDSA. Your donation will not only honor Debbie’s memory but will also make a tangible difference in the lives of countless pets in need.

Debbie loved animals and would go to demonstrations and lobby the government with letters and petitions for animal rights.

She adored cats and adopted three kittens.

The first, Gizmo, from an animal shelter, followed by two stray wild brothers from a friend’s garden: Chi Chi, black and white named after the panda, and Monroe, a ginger Tom, named after the singer Michael Monroe of band Hanoi Rocks.

Debbie would take them to the local PDSA whenever they needed veterinary care.

It was the PDSA who, when Chi Chi became ill, diagnosed him with FIV, a type of cat aids, untreatable at that time. Monroe and Gizmo both lived out good, long lives, Gizmo the first and the last, reaching the grand old age of 21.

The PDSA is a charity who care for pets whose owners cannot afford the full cost of veterinary treatment. It is often those without the financial means who love and care for the unwanted, abandoned and abused animals that require treatment, as James Bowen adopted Street Cat Bob which tugged at Debbie’s heart strings.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can continue Debbie’s mission of making the world a better place for all creatures great and small.

Dear Mr Alan Greenwood, I cannot thank you and your team in Bookham enough, for the excellent service they provided in every respect in the Cremation of my wife.

Your resident Funeral Consultant Mary fully explained all we needed to understand and advised the options available to us.

Her in depth knowledge of all the service providers including, Order of Service, authors and print selection, Celebrant, Hall and refreshments.

So many things which without her I would have been lost.

In the past few days I have received so very many complements and praise for the service you gave.

Do please allow other potential clients to share our experience.

Yours sincerely

Terry Eves-Thorpe

“Dear Beth,

Just a short note from all of us to say “Thank You” for all the effort that you applied to ensure that Sarah’s funeral passed so seamlessly.

If it can be described as a “Great Day” (which I know will sound odd) I mean it purely in terms of the balance between sadness and celebration was met – that also the weather was perfect, the co-ordination between service and committal was excellent, the flowers so beautiful and everyone played their part so well. It was largely down to you that it did work so well.

So a “Big Thank You”

Barry, Jemma, Matthew, Josie and William

“Just a note to say a huge thank you to yourself and the wonderful team at Send Greenwoods, they took care of us all yesterday at Les Ingram’s funeral. I’ve really valued your help and support over the last few weeks and the wonderful men yesterday went beyond their ‘call of duty’. They were certainly there at our great time of need. Please pass on my thanks to everyone. I also enclose four more donations. Many thanks again.”

Judith Hookins

“Dear Judy,

Thank you for all your hard work and great communication for the arrangement of mum’s funeral. Even though the restrictions limited certain things, everything ran so smoothly. We were able to celebrate mum’s life with a lovely service and great help from you and all at Alan Greenwood funeral services on the day.”
