Letters to Heaven Post Box

Introducing Our Letters to Heaven Post Box

At F.P. Gaunts and Sons, we understand the deep emotions that come with losing a loved one. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our Letters to Heaven Post Box, located outside our funeral home in Blackheath. This thoughtful initiative is designed to provide families and friends with a way to connect with their loved ones who have passed.


How It Works

Our Letters to Heaven Post Box is a free service for everyone in the community. There’s no need for a stamp—simply write your letter or card, and place it in the secure post box.


Here’s what you can expect:



  • Respect and Privacy: Your letters will never be opened or read.
  • Optional Retrieval: Letters will be securely kept for one month in case you wish to collect and keep them.
  • Eco-Friendly: After the one-month period, all remaining letters will be respectfully recycled.
