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 Rainford 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 a beautiful established tree, Lawn Grave, Woodland Glade or Bay. Located in a woodland and 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 memorial post in our Remembrance Garden, plaque placed on a bench, obelisk or log memorial or a bird box.
Urns and ashes casket
Choose from a beautifully designed bamboo or wooden casket or an acorn urn made from biodegradable materials.
