East Cheshire Hospice is hosting a special drop-in centre for those missing loved ones at Easter.
The public are welcome to visit the Savage Chapel at St Michael and All Angels Church between 11 am and 2 pm on Saturday, April 19.
An Easter trail run by churches in the Macclesfield area is taking place in the church grounds at the same time.

It is part of a family day of town centre activities organised by the council to celebrate Easter.
Hospice Chaplain Marion Tugwood said: “Churches from the Hope in North East Cheshire group will tell the Easter story at stations in the churchyard.
“The Savage Chapel will become a reflective space for those grieving at Easter.
“They can light a candle and our chaplaincy team are there for anyone who needs a quiet chat. Visitors can write messages and are welcome to stay for two minutes or two hours.
“Major festivals are a time when families get together and they miss relatives and friends. It’s important to acknowledge that Easter can be just as hard as Christmas.”
Meanwhile, the Hospice has organised two more Death Café gatherings at its Sunflower Living Well Centre on Saturdays May 10 and June 28, both from 10.30 am.
Guests can talk openly and confidentially about death and dying. No booking is needed.
Marion said: “There’s no agenda and we’re not trying to force any particular belief on anyone or sell any products or services.
