Buying memorials and graves

A Book of Remembrance is available to view all day in the Remembrance Rooms of each crematorium. It provides an inexpensive and lasting memorial to loved ones.

An entry may consist of 2, 5 or 8 lines including the person's name on the first line.

You can order copies of the inscriptions in the Book of Remembrance as remembrance cards.
