BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE
The Book of Remembrance is an anniversary memorial and is on display in the memorial room at the gates to the Cemetery. The entry is normally inscribed on the date of death but the entry can be made on and day the family considers significant such as a birthday or wedding anniversary. The standard entry is 2 lines but entries of 5 or 8 lines are available. Entries of 5 lines or more may be embellished with an emblem if desired. Examples of entries can be seen in the attachment on the right.
Please note that there are no Kerbstones or Commemorative Benches available for adoption at the cemetery or crematorium. Families wishing to dedicate a seat in memory of their loved one can do so in many of the parks & gardens situated throughout the borough. Further details can be accessed using the Parks Commemorative Bench page - a link can be found at the bottom right hand corner of this page.
