Since the days of the Roman empire, the words In memoriam, followed by a name, have been found on monuments and gravestones. They may also appear in the dedication of a book or poem; Alfred Tennyson’s greatest poem is his immense In Memoriam, written over a period of 17 years to mourn the death of his dear friend Arthur Hallam. This calendar is dedicated to the memory of those who have died in our community, in particular members of the Waranga Uniting Churches and those who have sought our services to conduct the funeral of a loved one.
