Memorial benches in our district (outside cemeteries)

We're not accepting applications for new memorial benches outside our cemeteries at the moment. This is because we're reviewing how many there already are across the district.

We'll publish an update here as soon as we can.

Memorial trees in our district (outside cemeteries)

Dedicating a tree can be a fitting way to remember someone special. There are some available spaces for a plaque on an existing tree in the district.

You must ask for permission to install one.

Please contact the environmental team to find out about the options available for dedicating a tree outside our cemeteries.
