Garden of Remembrance Columbarium

The Garden of Remembrance columbarium contains individual niches, each of which has a front section which is a memorial plaque with a flower receptacle. Behind the plaque is where the cremated remains are placed, and there is enough room for two standard size urns or caskets.

Fresh or silk flowers may be placed in the holders provided on each individual niche. Any other items or tributes are not permitted within the area.

Each niche is properly secured, and the granite plaque will be engraved with your own personalised inscription and a motif if required. Niches may be leased for 30 year periods.

Selection and purchase of a columbarium niche

The selection of a niche is a very personal and intimate process and can only be done effectively by personally visiting the cemetery. Although we can make the selection on behalf of families this is not recommended as we find that this is best done by the person themselves to avoid any disappointments.

Some people will prefer a lower niche while others will prefer a high one at the end of a unit.

Designing a plaque

Once a niche has been selected and purchased the plaque can be engraved. Our trained staff are available to help and advise the bereaved in the design of the plaque to ensure that it is produced to your satisfaction. The cost of engraving 80 letters on the plaque is included in the cost of leasing the columbarium.

Renewal of lease

As with all dedications within the Cemetery, the lease is renewable, and it is important therefore to ensure that you notify us if you change address as we will be  writing to you offering this option at the end of  your lease period.
