Before making the final decision about the resting place of your loved one's cremated remains and type of memorial, we strongly advise you to come to the office and talk to the staff, who will be happy to explain the different options and show you the gardens.

There are two main options for cremated remains. These are whether you wish to keep the cremated remains together and therefore would prefer a burial of cremated remains or whether the cremated remains should be buried loosely into one of our 4 gardens which is known as a dispersal. Please note on no account can the place of dispersal be identified with a memorial.

Once the choice has been made families' can then decide whether they wish to witness the dispersal/burial of cremated remains. A charge will be made for this. Please see our fees list for the cost.

Norse Road Garden of Remembrance is divided into the four seasons - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, the planting in each area is designed to be at its best during that season. Cremated remains are dispersed in the borders of each seasonal garden. Each Garden/area has its own type of memorial which families can purchase for their loved ones. Please note that if you choose to have cremated remains dispersed in the Summer Garden for example, this does not mean you cannot purchase a memorial in another garden.

Please note only memorials purchased from the Borough Council will be allowed in the Garden of Remembrance. If you place extra items such as vases, statues etc in the gardens where the cremated remains were disperse, or on pathways in front of your purchased memorial, these will be removed by staff.
