Crematorium Memorials

There are various memorial schemes available at the crematorium to allow families to commemorate a loved one following cremation.

 

To help you consider your options, our range of memorials is featured on this site. Each of the memorial options is described below and you can download a price list at the bottom of the page. Photos of memorial options will be added shortly.       

The Book of Remembrance is the only permanent form of memorial.  It provides the opportunity to  create a very personal commemoration using your own choice of words and if you wish, a hand-painted emblem or badge can be added next to the five or eight line inscriptions. Lines are inscribed in black ink and the initial letter of the surname is illuminated in gold.

 

The Book is in eight volumes, two for each quarter and four pages are allocated to each day.  The volumes are displayed in closed glass-topped cabinets and are open at the appropriate date every day. Entries can be viewed without appointment on the anniversary date but if you wish to see another date please call us to ensure the books are on site and we will arrange for the page to be available for viewing.

 

Inscriptions are usually entered to mark the anniversary of death but you may choose any other date that is meaningful if you prefer.

 

A room is dedicated to house the books and also to accommodate cut flowers you may wish to bring on anniversaries.  Vases are provided for you.

Arrangements can be made to have hand written copies of the entries in the main Books in either Miniature books or cards.  A choice of design and examples are available at the crematorium office for you to choose from.  These copies can be ordered at the time the original entry is ordered or at any time after that. You can order as many copies as you like.

We have two colours of vase and tablet available, white marble vases with black granite tablets are available in two areas of the Garden of Remembance and a pink granite vase and tablet are available in the Cloister Garden.
