A Place to Visit and Remember

From experience, we are aware that some families will create a memorial, even if the actual cremated remains are somewhere else. This is often the case when death has occurred overseas, or the deceased has a specific wish to be scattered elsewhere. In circumstances such as these, the creation of a permanent memorial provides you with a place to visit and remember.

We are here to help

At such a difficult time, often there is a lot to consider, and the process of organising a cremation memorial may seem complicated. We are a not-for-profit and purpose-driven organisation, committed to providing choice, flexibility and the most considered support services for you at your time of need. We offer a range of cremation packages that help simplify the steps required, giving you complete peace of mind.

Our customer care team can walk you through options available, to help you make the experience of honouring your loved one as meaningful as possible.
