Memorials

Find out about memorial options available at our crematorium and cemeteries.

Memorials at Woodvale crematorium

Outdoor dedication in Garden of Remembrance

These memorials can be placed in the Garden of Remembrance and the Children's Memorial Garden.

Indoor dedication in the Hall of Memory

There are three types of memorial that can be placed in the Hall of Memory, a quiet place for reflection behind Woodvale's North Chapel.

Planted memorials

You can order spring bulbs to be planted in the grounds without a plaque.

Cemetery and burial ground memorials

Lawn Grave memorials

Granite stone tablets can be placed on lawn graves at Woodvale or Hove cemetery.

Memorial seats and bench plaques

Wooden memorial benches can be placed within the grounds of Woodvale or in any of Brighton & Hove City Council's cemeteries.

Woodland Valley memorials

A wooden memorial plaque with a choice of engraving is available to place on the grave. These will biodegrade naturally over time but can be replaced if required.

Approved memorial masons

Only Approved memorial masons are authorised to work in our cemeteries and a Memorial Permit Application form must be submitted with the owner's signature before any work is carried out.

Memorial jewellery and paperweights

Memorial jewellery and paperweights

A small amount of cremated remains of a loved one can be crafted into a small memento to keep close to you always.

The items (apart from the paperweights) are made from sterling silver or 9ct gold (in white or yellow) and contain glass. The cremated remains are beautifully speckled into the glass by skilled craftsmen.

The colour of the glass can be in blue, ruby, green, purple or black. A small message can also be engraved (not including earrings).
