The funeral service for Martin was held in the Oak Chapel at Crownhill Crematorium, Milton Keynes on Monday 22nd March 2021 at 10am.
It was a lovely service, conducted with great care and empathy by our very kind Celebrant, Kim. Thank you Kim, for leading us all through the event with such grace and dignity, and some smiles.
Thank you also to Co-op Funeral Care who have been highly professional, compassionate and supportive throughout.
It was wonderful to see some of Martin and the Buckle family’s friends and colleagues. Thank you for being there. We look forward to getting together, in better times, to share more memories and to celebrate Martin’s life.
Due to the current COVID restrictions we were sad to not be able to invite more people to come along on the day. However, a live stream was set up and we very much hope that this allowed as many people as wished to, to take part in the ceremony remotely.

We would be delighted if you would like to make a donation to one of our chosen charities: Bees Abroad and Parkinson's UK. To many Martin was The Bee Man. He learned about bees, taught children about them, helped bees thrive and passed on his knowledge and appreciation of the importance of protecting bees to as many people as possible. In the later years of his life Martin was diagnosed with Parkinson's, which played a part in cutting short his beekeeping activities.
