Book of Remembrance Inscription

A Book of Remembrance, housed in the Flower Room next to the Floral Hall is available to provide for an inexpensive,  yet lasting form of memorial.

The Book works in calendar form and is open to view on the actual date of any year so that on anniversaries one is assured that the inscription remains on view throughout the day.

If the deceased was a member of the armed or civilian forces (or a retired member), a sporting club, society or other organisation it is possible for the appropriate badge, crest or motif to be inscribed in the book against the inscription. Alternatively a flower or bird can accompany the inscription.

The Book of Remembrance can be viewed at other times during published opening hours.

This feature currently has no remaining space. An alternative option is currently being sought.

Benches

High quality hardwood memorial benches can be purchased which can incorporate an engraved inscription. Alternatively a separate bronze plaque can be purchased which will be fixed to the bench.

All benches are stained and secured to base slabs. The price can be obtained from the crematorium office.

Prior to purchase, it is important that a suitable location, agreeable with the crematorium manager can be found.

Scattering areas

Unfortunately we cannot allow the placement of memorials, pots or vases in the natural setting of our scattering areas, we would also kindly ask that floral tributes placed in these areas are done so with all wrappings removed. It is also forbidden to tie or place items in any of the trees or shrurbs within these areas.
