A FUNERAL company will mark Father’s Day by releasing balloons into the sky.

Staff from Nash Funerals in Tudor Parade, Eltham, are asking people to come in and write a Father’s Day message on a card.

They can then make a donation at the branch to Demelza, a charity providing hospice care for children with terminal illnesses.

Staff at the Welling branch will be launching the balloons at noon on June 18.

Funeral arranger Linda Parker explained: “It’s for loved ones that have passed away but also for anyone who has a dad really.”
