Funeral Arrangements for the late Albert Ford

Albert Ford died, without warning, at his home in Botley, Oxford on 30th May.

Albert’s funeral will take place on Monday 11th June, 12.30 for 12:45pm at The Oxford Crematorium in Bayswater Road, Barton. All friends and associates are most welcome.

Please pass this onto anyone else you know who ought to get the news.

The funeral service will be very simple and inclusive. The main tributes will be made by the Rev Michael Howard, Masako Ford (Albert and Hiroko’s daughter), Chris Sewell and Kathy Peto, on behalf of Oxfordshire Parenting Forum. Hiroko has asked that anyone who wishes to contribute some thoughts or words during the service should feel free to do so, allowing time for reflection between contributions.  

There is no dress code, please come in whatever you feel comfortable in.

After the funeral service, refreshments have been arranged at:
The Talkhouse, Wheatley Road, Stanton St. John, OX33 1EX.
All are welcome. The family hope that this will also be a chance to talk and reminisce about Albert.
It would help with catering if anyone intending to come could send a short email to: sewellfam@ntlworld.com
