Your Options for Memorials
Ash scattering
Often thought to be a spiritual act for setting one free, many people choose to scatter the ashes of a loved one in a location with a personal meaning. If you are looking for somewhere special, a place where you can remember and reflect then an Ash Scattering at GreenAcres Colney offers many beautiful areas for you to choose from. Scattering areas cannot be individually marked but if you wish you can purchase an engraved plaque made from English oak to place on a designated memorial.
Leased options for ashes
There are so many ways in which you might want to remember a loved one, and as with the funeral, this service is completely personal. If you are looking for a special place to inter a loved one’s ashes you can choose from an established park tree, Lawn Grave, Woodland Nook, Lawn Grave, Woodland Glade or Bay. Located in a woodland or meadowland setting, these options are offered on a lease basis available from 10 years.
Sponsored memorial
We offer a range of sponsored memorials throughout the Park, which you can personalise with an inscription and motif. Memorialise your loved one in the beauty of the outdoors and feel close to them whenever you visit the Park. Available on a 3-year sponsorship basis, our wooden memorial options include a leaf in the memorial shelter, plaque placed on a bench, obelisk or log memorial or a bird box.
Urns and ashes casket
Choose from a beautifully designed range of ashes urns and caskets which are made from fully biodegradable materials.
Memorial post
In the woodland and meadow area of our Park, full burials and ashes graves may be marked with a single wooden post. We offer different styles of posts to suit your requirement. Please speak to a member of our team of specialists for further details.
Book of Remembrance
Relive happy times and create a long-lasting memory of your loved one with an entry into our Book of Remembrance.
Prestige options for ashes
Offering a greater degree of privacy and exclusivity, our prestige options can be used by families as a place where more than one member of the family can be laid to rest together. These options are offered under our Lifetime Term which is a lease of up to 99 years (subject to lease of the Park).
Living Memorial Tree
A Living Memorial Tree creates the perfect legacy for loved ones. A carefully selected sapling tree is planted with the first set of ashes. Two additional sets of ashes may be scattered around the tree in future years to create a family tribute. A single memorial post and vase may be placed at the base of the tree.
