Minimo Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 When my mum was cremated we had a plaque for her on a wall at City Rd Cemetery. It now has to be removed and we were wondering what we could do with it. Has anyone had this problem, or can suggest any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Clowning Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Can you not put it on a Bench somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloom Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 You can sponsor benches at many popular viewpoints in the UK, including across the coastline and have a plaque put on it. OR, somewhere she liked to go? A local pub? might agree to put it up. Or a nice spot in your garden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasha_78_1 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Put it on a bench in your own garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Tasha78's suggestion was my own preferred option, but other family members aren't sure. I was hoping somewhere like a natural burial garden might display it. We all dislike the idea of a council bench, not least because of the ridiculous price (near on £1000) and which might then be vandalised. Thanks all for your ideas.

GrannyGranny Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 What did you do with the ashes? Maybe have the plaque at each of your homes for a few months each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Her ashes, like our dad's, were scattered on our elder brother's grave. But there is no place for the plaque there. We aren't arguing about who should have it (I don't have a garden anyway) just trying to find a suitable permanent home for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good example is......Did he like football cause they let you put plaques at football stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Can you not put it on a Bench somewhere ? A lot of people do that around the areas used to love, e.g. parks, reservoirs and hillsides with good views. I approve of the idea but more often than not some fool comes along and vandalises the thing causing some distress to the family. Still I think a bench would be the option I'd take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
