Cemeteries fees and charges

Memorial plots

Each memorial plot can be used for at least two interments. Memorial tablets are available in a choice of sizes and materials. Cremated remains can be either interred, poured into the ground loose or scattered on the lawn. Individual plots can also be personalised through the planting of flowers and shrubs or the addition of kerbing and stone chippings. You are also able to select a specific plot for immediate or future interments, subject to availability and your requirements.

East border memorial bed

Completed in 2008, cast bronze memorial plaques are placed on granite posts that surround the bed of standard and hybrid tea roses where cremated remains can be strewn.

South rose garden

Originally installed in 1968, the South Rose Garden was renovated in 2008. Work included the relaying of the memorial stones, the addition of archways and the restocking of some of the roses. The existing stone tablets are available for dedication. These will be thoroughly cleaned, engraved and the inscription painted. Cremated remains can be interred under the stone.

Sanctum 12 columbaria

Introduced to increase choice to the bereaved. There are two above ground units consisting of 12 individual chambers each able to accept two sets of cremated remains. The large granite tablets are big enough for a full inscription with motif or photo plaque. If required a bronze posy vase can also be fixed to the tablet.

Memorial roses

A dedicated rose in one of the rose beds. Included in the price is the strewing of cremated remains and the choice of either a plastic or cast bronze memorial plaque.

Octagonal memorial planter

For those wishing to place a memorial to a loved one whose cremated remains have been strewn in the scattering area, or even away from the garden, then a granite plaque on the octagonal memorial planter is the ideal choice.

Cast bronze plaques

Cast bronze plaques on an angled spike are available for dedication either with the memorial roses or for placing on an individual memorial plot. These are normally supplied as a 6” x 4” plaque but are also available in other sizes for those wanting a longer inscription. There are also a variety of motifs that can be added to the plaques.

Memorial benches

Iroko teak memorial bench (6ft) complete with flower vase and engraved brass plaque. If preferred we can arrange for an inscription to be carved onto the bench.

Oak caskets

When cremated remains are to be interred in Redstone Cemetery, we offer the choice of having them transferred to an oak casket complete with nameplate.

Scattering area

For those that do not wish to purchase a memorial plot there is a designated scattering area within the garden.
