A post box that lets people send messages to their lost loved ones will be installed in Shipston.
The 'Letters to Heaven' post box will be at the Gyratory Garden in Shipston.
The idea stemmed from a grieving nine-year-old's wish to send letters to her deceased grandparents.
Shipston Home Nursing was inspired by the concept and will install the post box to help people remember their lost loved ones in a "uniquely personal way".
Mayor of Shipston, John Dinnie, said: "I am pleased that Shipston Town Council were able to support Shipston Home Nursing with the Letters to Heaven post box.
"We all handle grief in our own way and for some the act of writing and posting a letter to a departed loved one will bring comfort.
"Anything that has the potential to reduce individual distress is a benefit to the community."
Kate Bamford, head of fundraising and communications at Shipston Home Nursing, said: "We’re most grateful to Shipston Town Council, The Royal British Legion and The Stour Valley Lions for enabling us to locate the post box in the Shipston Gyratory Garden.
"Every letter or card put into the post box will be treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
"They will never be opened or read but will be composted, and the compost used in the garden."
The official launch of the post box will be at 12pm on Tuesday, October 22.
