Mother's Day
Join us each year for a remembrance service or event to honour and celebrate all mothers and mother figures.
Mother's Day at SMCT
Mother's Day can be an important time for our community, as we reflect and remember the mothers and mother figures no longer with us.
If you are planning to visit our locations for the Mother's Day weekend, you may notice some changes to the way we assist you. We've made these changes to make sure we provide the safest and most comfortable experience for all our guests.
Changes may include (but not be limited to) provisions for increased traffic, changes to operating hours and special events and experiences.
Please find temporary updates to our usual services listed on our location and services pages. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Your choice of tribute can be elaborate or simple, a personal tribute, or simply a token of respect. With that in mind, choosing the right flower and arrangement is worth a moment of careful consideration.
