The huge garden of the crematorium presents a beautiful view and is open to visitors between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Wooden memorial seats are spread across the length and breadth of the garden for the benefit of the visitors. There are beautiful granite plaques too, which are displayed within the chapel and on the walls of the garden. The plaques and planter plaques can be leased for 10 or 20 years. To commemorate the deceased, visitors can choose from a variety of memorials available at the crematorium that include: Book of Remembrance, Babies Book of Remembrance and Memorial Seats. Floral tributes are displayed at the top of a coffin during a funeral service.
