Memorials

A memorial can provide focus for personal memories to visit and reflect on happy times.  The Lawn and Hatfield Hyde cemeteries offer a range of memorials to allow families to remember a loved one. 

You can view the memorial options in our Cemetery Brochure.

You will need to get permission from us to put up or make changes to a memorial.

There are strict Rules and Regulations on the size and location of memorials at the Lawn and Hyde Cemetery.

We can give you technical advice to make sure your memorial meets the cemetery regulations and provides a lasting remembrance of a loved one.
