Memorial trees and shrubs

Memorial trees and shrubs are planted in the garden of remembrance. There are several varieties and some of these are available to lease for your memorial. Dedications are for an initial period of 7 years. Cremated remains cannot be laid at shrubs.

Cremated remains may be laid to rest at the tree, however other cremated remains may have previously been laid to rest at the tree memorial, and on occasion, unrelated cut flowers or wreaths may be placed here. These will be cleared by grounds staff when they have perished.

Sizes and designs

Two sizes of tablets are available, 12 inch x 12 inch (30cm x 30cm) or 18 inch x 12 inch (45cm x 30cm). Either one 18 inch x 12 inch tablet or up to two 12 inch x 12 inch tablets are permitted at each tree or shrub. Inscriptions cannot be added to an existing tablet.

Tablets are made of black granite and the price includes up to 8 lines of inscription. In addition to the inscription, and various motif designs are available for an additional charge. If a detailed motif is required or individually designed, a price will be quoted from the mason.

Artistic license is given to the mason to design or alter the layout if necessary. Each tablet is made individually to a very high standard, to withstand varying weather conditions exceptionally well.

In addition, you will be provided with a plastic trough and a flower container, which will be sunk in the ground and placed at the rear of your loved one’s tablet. The trough can be decorated with plants, artificial flowers and memorabilia. Flower containers must only contain flowers.
