Memorial Gardens
Memorial Gardens
The Memorial Gardens are the more formal setting for memorials within the Crematorium Grounds.
Methods of placement of ashes in this area are solely in Memorial Wall Niches and Ashes Vaults providing options for above-ground placement of ashes only.
All memorials in this area are leased for a period of time and can be renewed towards the end of this time period or the memorials can be taken home for placement in a garden or other suitable area.
Memorial Wall Niche
Memorial wall niches provide a location to safely hold your loved one’s ashes above ground and are marked by a memorial tablet with the words of your choice.
Two memorial walls, made from UK manufactured, low impact glass reinforced concrete and rendered natural bricks within the grounds provide 90 niches in total, each having internal measurements of 30cm x 30cm.
The walls include UK manufactured flower containers running along the base of the walls. Each niche has space for two sets of ashes and the niche front plaque can be inscribed with the wording of your choice.
Once the initial adoption period has elapsed, should you choose not to renew the lease, the ashes can be collected, and the plaque removed (or collected) away and the niche will be reallocated.
Ashes Vault
Each of our above-ground memorial vaults are located around the Memorial Circle in the grounds. The vaults are made of stainless steel and have space for the placement of two sets of cremated remains.
The vaults are topped with a Derbyshire stone Inscription plate in and can be inscribed with the words of your choice. Each inscription tablet measures 25.5cm across and 28.5cm tall and can accommodate 9 lines of text with up to 22 letters or spaces per line and include artwork if required.
Stone Post Plaque
Two stone posts, topped with an attractive stainless steel feature are located within the Memorial Circle in the grounds.
The fours sides of each post can accommodate nine locally sourced stone plaques that can be inscribed with the wording of your choice.
Each plaque measures 20cm across and 10 cm tall and can accommodate 5 lines of text with up to 20 letters or spaces per line.
