This site is a tribute to Chris, who was born in London on 5th November 1932. He is much loved and will always be remembered.

The death occurred suddenly at home on 3rd June, 2018 of Mr Christopher George Mulford (Chris), aged 85 years.

The funeral service took place at Christchurch Parish Church on Tuesday 19th June with Rev. Tony Williams officiating. The hymn The day thou gavest Lord is ended was accompanied by the organist, Mrs Jean Jones. During a time for reflection the mourners sat in quiet contemplation. Rev Williams recited two poems: “Not how did he Die but How did he Live” & “A time for everything”. The recessional music was When I fall in love performed by Nat King Cole. The service was followed by committal at The Forest of Dean Crematorium. 

The funeral arrangements were carried out by Ernest Heal & Sons, 5 South Road, Broadwell, Gloucestershire, who are collecting donations for The Orchard Trust which would be sincerely appreciated.
