Keeping your crematorium clean and safe

We work to make sure that our spaces are kept clean and tidy for everyone to visit their loved ones.

People choose to remember their loved ones in different ways. This includes putting mementoes on gravesides. In recent years, this has increased and raised a number of concerns:

  • Items being stolen or broken.
  • Complaints about access and safety.
  • Items scattered over cemeteries by animals or the wind, making them untidy and unsafe.

We work to make sure that our spaces are kept clean and tidy for everyone to visit their loved ones.

Most memorials come with a flower vase for floral tributes. Please refrain from adding extra vases, plastic ornaments, solar lights and similar. If you choose to leave them, please be aware that they may be removed without notice at any time. No glass or metal items are allowed. Any items found to be broken, decayed or not in keeping with the surroundings, will be removed. 

We are not liable for any damage or theft of extra items that are left. All items are left at your own risk.

Remembrance Day

  • Memorial crosses can stay for two weeks after the event.

Christmas wreaths

  • These can stay until 31st January. Please remove all items you wish to keep by this date.

If there is a problem, talk to staff during your visit who will be happy to help.
