Mendip Crematorium and Memorial Gardens

05/08/2025

Some families prefer that ashes are kept above ground, for personal, religious, or cultural reasons.

To accommodate this, we can incorporate sanctums into a garden plot.
This offers the same beautiful, planted space, with ashes safely stored above ground in a secure, elegant chamber.

A meaningful blend of personal choice and natural beauty. 🕊️

For further information on our above ground memorial options, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

If your loved one has already been laid to rest elsewhere, but you'd still like to create a dedicated place to remember them, we offer a wide range of plaque memorial options to suit different preferences and settings.

From engraved plaques on benches to placements on our scatter tower, porcelain plaques, wall-mounted tributes, and more - there are many thoughtful and lasting ways to honour someone special.

These memorials can be placed in serene areas around our grounds and provide a personal, physical space for quiet reflection, even if ashes are held elsewhere. Whether you’re looking for something traditional, artistic, discreet or prominent, our team can help guide you to the right choice for you.

A meaningful way to celebrate a life and create a legacy that lasts.

Did you know that funerals don’t always have to follow a formal dress code ? We recently held a funeral service for a gentleman and one of his final wishes was that mourners at his funeral wore sports wear so the lovely Celebrant Kat Hector did just that ! A bespoke and personalised send off for him on a sunny day.
