A Hull cemetery has installed a “letters to heaven” postbox to allow bereaved people to leave messages for their loved ones.
The white box at Chanterlands Crematorium, on Chanterlands Avenue, has been donated by a community group to help those dealing with grief.
Sharon Sutcliffe, from the Creative Hands of Friendship organisation, said: “We hope this can make a difference, and hope it helps those who need to say more than goodbye.”
Specially prepared paper and envelopes made by the group are available at the crematorium office for visitors to use with the postbox.
Richard Barker, bereavement services manager at Hull City Council, said: “The group were inspired by seeing similar letters to heaven postboxes in other parts of the country, and how they’ve helped people deal with their sadness at what is always a very tough time.
“We thank them for their donation, which we are so honoured to accept.”
It was unveiled by the city’s Lord Mayor Councillor Cheryl Payne alongside Ms Sutcliffe.
The postbox is similar to one in place at the Priory Woods Cemetery, near Cottingham.
