Please note:

We bury all ashes loosely in the ground, we do not allow any ashes to be ‘scattered’ on our site and our garden memorials only have space for two sets of buried ashes. 

Cut flowers, without any wrapping can only be left in an unmarked fresh flower vase, at a current purchased memorial site, or in our Flower Room, in a vase we provide. 

Our Terms and Conditions are available on our website and from the Crematorium Office. We prohibit leaving artificial flowers, plants, wreaths or items of sentimental value in the grounds and buildings. We only allow memorials we provide.

We cannot be held responsible for any theft, vandalism or damage, however caused and we retain the right to remove any unauthorised memorials without giving notice.
