Please be aware, there is currently roadworks with 4 way lights at Holytown roundabout. This is causing a bit of a hold up with traffic. If you are visiting the Crematorium please allow a little bit of extra time.

Close your eyes and breathe.

Stillness. Birdsong. The scent of flowers in the air. Our memorial gardens offer quiet comfort in every corner. 💐

Although most memorial gardens include the ashes of loved ones, they don’t need ashes to hold love. 🌸

If you don’t have the ashes, you can still have a memorial garden created within our grounds as a tribute. We can dedicate a space in memory of your loved one - a place that honours their life and gives you somewhere to visit, reflect, and remember.

Because remembrance lives in the heart, not only in the ashes.

✨ Letters to Heaven ✨

We’re proud to share that all of our CMG crematoria now have Letters to Heaven post boxes installed on site.

These special post boxes offer families a heartfelt way to stay connected with loved ones they’ve lost, a space to share memories, write messages, or simply say what’s in your heart.

💌 Every letter is private, never opened or read, and through an eco-friendly process, they are gently transformed into compost.

🌱 This compost is then used in our gardens, ensuring that each message becomes part of the beauty and life that continues to grow there.

A small gesture with lasting meaning. Because love never leaves us, and neither do they.

🌿 A quiet path, a gentle breeze,
A place of peace beneath the trees.
Where love lives on in bloom and stone,
Our memorial gardens help create a home from home.

What is a Memorial Garden?

We often talk about memorial gardens, but what are they, really?
Memorial gardens are thoughtfully designed spaces created to honour loved ones. Each one is unique, just like the lives they commemorate. 🌳

You can personalise nearly every aspect - choose a shape (like a circle, heart, or oval), select your preferred stone colour and border style, add a tree or rose, and even include special touches like engraved hearts or books.

Ashes can be interred in an urn or scattered and there is also the option to select a larger garden size to reunite family members in the future, if that is something that’s wished for.
We’ll be sharing more beautiful memorial garden examples in upcoming posts, so do keep a look out.
