Christmas opening times

Remembrance tributes and plaques - Woodland garden

The areas are informal and are planted with wild flowers to create a peaceful natural area. 

The cremation ashes are loosely placed in the ground within the woodland garden.

We will mark the location you choose with a specially-designed natural stone memorial marker, which has a suitable inscription message of your choice on a black granite plaque.

You can have a garden for one or two sets of ashes.
