Activities - how the charity spends its money

The Trust has an office on the Burial Park, which is open on week days from 9.00am until 2.00pm to welcome visitors and to make reservations for burials or interment and scattering of ashes. We also offer appointments for the ordering of a granite memorial plaque on any grave space or ashes plot. Memorial plaques are not permitted in the scattering area, for this we have our Garden of Remembrance.
