Memorial wall plaque
If you wish to remember a loved one after cremation, a memorial plaque displayed in the Garden of Remembrance or Book of Remembrance room may be something you are considering.
Both options are available at Anfield and Springwood crematoria for a five-year period, with the option to renew at the end of the lease term.
Each wall-mounted plaque is engraved in a gold finish with space for 80 characters, and you can choose to add a motif or photograph of the deceased. Motif options include:
The motif options shown above include a cross, dove, footballer, rose and teddy. An example of what the plaque may look like is below:
Renewing the memorial
When the five-year period is coming to an end, we will contact you to ask if you wish to renew it for a further five years, the associated costs and how to pay. If you do not wish to renew the memorial, we will remove it from the display to make space for others.
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.

What happens next?
We will contact you when the plaque is ready. We can either place the plaque for you and let you know when complete, or we can arrange an appointment for you to attend for placement.
To maintain appearance of the memorial plaque walls, our team will determine where to place it. If you have existing memorials on the wall we will try to allow for placement near these.
