We suggest you also contact our team at Dardistown Cemetery directly to discuss your requirements for the committal service and memorials.
For those who wish to create a memorial space at home or in a place of special significance, we offer a range of urns, caskets and keepsakes. Many families choose to create a memorial in our cemetery, providing a space for gatherings or private reflections. Please call us for more information or to arrange an appointment.
Dardistown crematorium is a contemporary architectural space, offering a tranquil and dignified setting for commemoration. Our expert team are here to ensure the wishes of the deceased and the instructions of your Funeral Director are fulfilled, and offer you meaningful choice for the cremation service and memorial options.
Memorials for Cremation
Memorial Tree
The Memorial Tree at Dardistown Cemetery is a thoughtful and innovative way to remember loved ones who have passed away. The name, birth and death dates of the deceased are engraved onto a personalised leaf that is attached to the tree for a lasting memory.
Water Urns
These beautiful bronze water urns are designed to provide 'a natural return to nature'. The ashes of your loved one are placed inside the urn, which catches rain water and releases the ashes very gradually back into the earth. Available in several styles of patina, the water urn can accommodate the ashes of two deceased loved ones and the process is only triggered when you want it to begin.
Whether located discreetly within the grounds of the cemetery or in the privacy of your home garden, the water urn provides a space for contemplation and a permanent memorial to your loved one, and may be inscribed according to your wishes.
Memorial Gardens
Ash Garden
This is a tranquil section of the cemetery specifically for those who have opted for cremation. Each plot holds six sets of ashes, and a headstone can be inscribed with the names of each of the people whose remains are hold in the plot.
Garden of Remembrance
The Garden of Remembrance is designed to reflect miniature burial grounds, with cremated remains interred into ground vaults. Above each vault a memorial stone is inscribed with the name and date of death. At the time of cremation it is possible to reserve spaces alongside for future use by other family members.
