Proceeds from a Martham funeral directors 10th anniversary birthday bash have been handed over to a bereavement charity.
Murrants Family Funeral Services raised £200 at an afternoon of tea, coffee and cake at their premises on The Green in the village.
The total was boosted by a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses.
The money was handed over to Sonya Roebuck at Nelson's Journey, a Norwich based charity that helps children who have lost loved-ones.
Accepting the cheque she revealed the children's charity received the second highest amount of referrals from the east Norfolk postcode in 2016, supporting 131 young children.
