"I'd like a written dedication in memory of a loved one - what options are available?" 🤍

Our Book of Remembrance offers a timeless way to honour a loved one, with carefully written dedications held in perpetuity 📖

For families who wish to keep that memory close, we also offer framed keepsake copies of the dedication - a meaningful tribute to cherish at home.

With options for added illustrations and emblems, the dedication can truly reflect the personality, hobbies and interests of a loved one.

Contact us for more information or visit us at the crematorium 🤍

Another beautiful week of heartfelt words shared in our chapel 💛

This week, we have chosen “The Dash” by Linda Ellis as our Poem of the Week.

“The Dash” gently reminds us that it’s not the dates on either side of a headstone that matter most — but the dash in between. That small line represents a whole lifetime of love, laughter, kindness, courage and memories shared with others.

It encourages us all to live fully, love deeply and make our own “dash” meaningful in the time we are given. 💫

There are so many meaningful ways to add personal touches to a memorial garden, and we’re so pleased to now offer these beautiful bronze plaques 🤍

Designed to create a lasting tribute, each plaque can be personalised with a choice of shapes, fittings, colours, fonts and artwork, allowing you to create something truly unique for your loved one.

Crafted from bronze, they are not only timeless in appearance but incredibly durable too. Over time, bronze develops a rich natural patina while maintaining its strength, ensuring your tribute remains a lasting and fitting memorial for years to come 🌿

If you’d like to find out more, our team is always here to help.

A forever kind of memory.
A name held gently in place.
A story remembered.
A love that doesn’t fade. 🕊️

This week in our chapel, we have chosen Daffodils by William Wordsworth as our Poem of the Week. 🌼

A timeless and uplifting poem, Daffodils reminds us of the beauty found in nature and how even the simplest moments can bring comfort and reflection. Its gentle imagery of golden flowers dancing in the breeze feels especially fitting as we begin to see the first signs of spring around our grounds.

Poetry has a wonderful way of bringing peace, offering a quiet pause to reflect, remember, and find warmth in cherished memories. We hope this week’s choice brings a little light and comfort to all who hear it. 🌼✨

The Funeral Directors have conducted some truly amazing and beautiful services here at Counties Crematorium this week — and it’s only Tuesday.

Each service has been thoughtfully arranged, personal, and full of heartfelt moments that really honoured the lives being remembered.

It’s a privilege for us to witness such care and compassion in the way families are supported during such difficult times.
