A beautiful way to keep a loved one close 🤍

We offer a wide range of urns, with options to suit different tastes, wishes and preferences - from delicate glass and finely detailed pewter to traditional brass designs.

For those looking for a more environmentally conscious option, we also have biodegradable urns available, which can be placed in the garden, in the ground or in water.

And for families who would like to keep a small portion of their loved one’s ashes at home, or share them between family members, our keepsake urns provide a special and personal way to do so.

If you'd like more information on our urns range or broader memorial options, please don't hesitate to contact us - our team is always here to help you explore the options and find something that feels right for you and your family 🤍

Welcoming Our New Beehives!🐝🌼

We are delighted to welcome England's Glory into our crematorium gardens.

We will soon be receiving two new beehives, followed by the arrival of our wonderful bees.

We think this will be a beautiful touch of nature to our gardens, supporting our local environment and creating a peaceful home for these important little pollinators.

And, of course, we can't wait to hopefully enjoy some of their delicious honey.

We look forward to watching our new residents settle in and become part of our gardens.💛

5 things you may not know about private memorial gardens 🌷

Private memorial gardens offer families and individuals a unique and personal place to remember someone special. But there are a few things you may not know about them:

1. The space is yours to keep 💫
When you purchase a private memorial garden, you are purchasing the land, providing a permanent place of remembrance for your family.

2. Families can stay together 💫
Private memorial gardens are available in a range of sizes, including larger spaces designed to accommodate families, creating a place where loved ones can be remembered together in the future.

3. You can make it personal 💫
From the colour and type of chippings or stones to the shape of the garden, there are different ways to personalise the space. Trees, shrubs and additional memorials can also be incorporated to create a truly individual tribute.

4. They don't always need to contain ashes 💫
While ashes are placed within the ground in many private memorial gardens, a garden can also be created without ashes. It can instead provide a dedicated, personal place to reflect, remember and honour someone.

5. You can plan ahead at today’s price 💫
If a private memorial garden is something you’d like for the future, you can pre-purchase now at today’s price, giving you peace of mind that future price increases won’t affect your purchase.

Every family and individual remembers differently. If a private memorial garden sounds like something you'd be interested in, don't hesitate to contact or visit us for more details - we'd be honoured to support you 🤍

🦋 As the Big Butterfly Count comes to a close, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate the wonderful wildlife that calls our grounds home 🌿

Our crematorium is more than a place of remembrance – it's also a haven for nature. From butterflies and bees to birds and wildflowers, we're proud to care for beautiful green spaces that support local wildlife while providing peaceful surroundings for the families who visit us.

Looking after our grounds also means helping to create healthy habitats where nature can continue to thrive. Every butterfly, every wildflower and every small act of conservation plays a part in protecting these special spaces for future generations.

Thank you to everyone who has taken part in this year's Big Butterfly Count. Together, we're helping to build a better understanding of the wildlife around us and the importance of protecting it 🧡🦋🌼
