Hunting Crematorium 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 (page 6) and Ashes Vaults (page 7) 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 coated with a powder stainless steel 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.
