Garden of Remembrance black granite style plaque
If you wish to remember a loved one after cremation, a granite style memorial plaque in our Garden of Remembrance may be something you are considering.
Plaques can be placed within the grounds of either Springwood or Anfield Crematoria, where we have many sections available to reflect and remember in beautiful and peaceful surroundings.
At 200mm wide and 110mm deep, the granite style plaque is larger than our standard plaque and provides a more personalised memorial, which includes the option for either a hand painted motif or photograph.
Motif options include:
The motif options shown above include a rose, a tree, a butterfly, a Robin Red Breast, a cross with flowers and a feather.
Plaque inscriptions are in gold, with space for 200 characters (or 150 characters if you include a motif or photograph). The inscription layout will be determined by the supplier and will fit within the size available. Please include your inscription in your preferred wording order.
An example of how the black granite style plaque may look is below. We have placed it next to our standard plaque so you can see the difference in size and personalisation:
You can choose a lease term of 5 or 10 years, with the option to renew at the end of the lease period.
The gardens are maintained by our excellent grounds team, who will tend to the sections throughout the year.
Renewing the memorial
When the lease period is coming to an end, we will contact you to ask if you wish to renew it for a further 5 or 10 years, the associated costs and how to pay. If you do not wish to renew the memorial, the plaque will be removed from display.
Displays will also be removed at the end of the term if we are unable to contact you, or if you have not told us your contact details have changed.
