Gardens of Remembrance
After cremation, there are a number of options for families who are unsure about the final resting place for remains.
- At Park Wood, cremated remains can be strewn in the Gardens of Remembrance by our staff.
- We have seasonal locations for the strewing of cremated remains. These are recorded in our statutory records for the purpose of future reference. Fresh flowers are allowed to be left in these areas. No other memorabilia is permitted and will be removed without notice.
- An appointment can be made for the family to attend while the cremated remains are strewn.
- There are no more charges for this service, provided the cremation was undertaken at Park Wood.
Burial of cremated remains
Do you want to cremate remains to be interred, not strewn? If so, garden of remembrance plots can be bought with a granite plaque. These hold up to two caskets each. They are available at Brighouse, Rastrick, Clifton or Stoney Royd.
There is also the option to buy a half grave space.
Ash Vaults are available at Brighouse Cemetery. This is another option instead of being buried below ground.
For advice or fees involved to buy the exclusive right of burial in a grave space: Contact Bereavement Services.
Collection
Your funeral director will advise you on your options. You may wish to collect cremated remains for private disposal or you may need more time to make a decision. We will hold remains for three months at which point we will contact you.
