Due to current circumstances, there will be a private funeral service and burial held with limited numbers able to attend.

In his last few weeks Michael received excellent care from the staff of Longfield Hospice, who came three times a day and, latterly, overnight as well. This was of great help to Julie and the rest of the family, and helped Michael have as painless and comfortable death as possible. Longfield Hospice are a registered charity who do outstanding work helping people with life limiting illness. Their website is https://www.longfield.org.uk/

We would have loved to invite as many people as possible to the funeral, but current restrictions mean we are limited to 30. If we are unable to invite you, or you are unable to attend but would like to mark Michael's passing, donations to Longfield Hospice in memory of Michael would be greatly appreciated and can be made here on this site or cheques can be sent to Michael Gamble Funeral Directors, Station House, Station Road, Stroud, GL5 3AR.

If you are attending the funeral please do not bring any flowers, but instead make donations in lieu to Longfield Hospice.
