Help for deaf people – Frank’s Fund

The cremation took place at Semington Crematorium in Wiltshire on 21st February, of Frank Harbert who died aged 89 in Catherine House Care Home, Frome, on 28th January.

Frank was born in London and lived for much of his life living in Biggin Hill, Kent, working as an engineer. He retired to Shoreham-by-Sea in Sussex and, after being widowed, lived in Mere, Wiltshire to be near his daughter Mary.
