Jerry Oliver’s Funeral – Friday 1st December

Nov 11, 2023

Jerry’s funeral will be at Mortlake Crematorium at 10am on Friday 1st December, followed by a wake at Quintin.

If you are considering going to the funeral, Jerry’s family say that “In terms of dress, Jerry would want everyone to feel comfortable in what they wear. Those with a rowing connection please feel free to wear a blazer and/or tie with any association. Suits or smart trousers/skirts or dresses with jackets are welcome but please do not feel these have to be black. In fact we welcome colour if that is your preference!”

The family request no flowers, but if you wish to make a charitable donation in memory of Jerry they ask that it should go to the Stroke Association UK.
