Remembrance tributes and plaques - Private gardens

We have introduced a number of ’private gardens’ for the placement of cremation ashes.

The gardens are environmentally friendly and the ashes are loosely placed within the private garden area allowing them to naturally disperse into the ground.

Once placed in the ground the ashes cannot be removed.
 
These gardens consist of a granite boulder and inscribed plaque situated within a cobbled area.
 
The gardens can accommodate two or four sets of cremation ashes which can be placed in the same garden.

Location
Carmountside Cemetery and Crematorium, Burslem cemetery, Stoke cemetery, Longton Cemetery
Lease period
Ten years - you can renew after this time.
