In loving memory of
Ethan James Wright
20. 04. 2001 - 02. 06. 2024
As a family, to find ourselves planning Ethan’s funeral is devastating. After much thought, there were funeral traditions that did not feel right, so instead, we wish to plan a coming together of Ethan’s family and friends, in a beautiful, peaceful location, where we can all share memories in a personal way.
The service will be led by family and friends, chairs will be available if you need one at any time, but we would love people to just gather round so we can talk about Ethan and share our memories of him in an informal way. Everyone will be welcome to say something, but only if you feel comfortable to do so. If you would like to say something on the day, please let us know via the form below, or, if you are unable to attend, or wish someone else to say something on your behalf, there is also an option to do this via the form.
To help make it easier for everyone to attend, we are organising and paying for overnight hotel accommodation at the nearby reception venue, the Crowne Plaza, Gerrards Cross, on Thursday the 18th and/or Friday the 19th (details below). We will be at the hotel on both nights and would love to see anyone who would like to be there.

CELEBRATION SERVICE
Celebration of Ethan’s Life at 1.30pm on Friday 19th July
Ethan’s cremation will be private and happen a few days before. We ask that you join us for a Celebration of Ethan’s life that will take place in the Woodland Hall at GreenAcres Chiltern in Beaconsfield, near Amersham – a stunning memorial ground set within acres of woodland. Ethan’s ashes will be with us on the day. Following the service, you are invited to join us for a reception at the nearby Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross.
We would love for you to share memories of Ethan with us and invite you to do so (details below). It will be a relaxed style of ceremony so please do not worry about standing on ceremony. Please feel free to dress in bright colours and casual clothes, Rattler Cornish Cider t-shirts welcomed!
For anyone unable to attend in person, the service will also be webcast live.
It would help us if you could RSVP by Monday 8th July. You can state on the RSVP form if you require accommodation.
