A grieving girl with a touching wish to send letters to her late grandparents came up with the idea of 'post boxes to heaven' - and now they're being installed in crematoriums across the UK. Nine-year-old Matilda Handy suggested the heartwarming idea to her mum while looking for a way to express her grief.
Matilda's mum Leanne, 45, approached Gedling Crematorium, in Lambley, Nottingham, where she works, and an old post box was painted white just before Christmas. After more than 100 letters were posted in it, the touching concept is being replicated at 36 other sites across the country.
