A limited number of conifers are available in
the Gardens of Remembrance for use as memorials. You may decide how
many years you wish to lease a memorial for, to a maximum of 40
years, and pay the appropriate fee to the Borough Council.
The conifer remains the property of the Crematorium by whom it
will be maintained or replaced as appropriate. A separate fee is
charged for the cast bronze inscription plate that is placed at the
foot of the conifer.
The memorial right may be extended during the period
of the lease by payment of the appropriate fee. You may wish to do
this if you require an additional name to be added to the
inscription plate or to have a second plate fixed. The memorial
right can also be renewed at the end of the lease on payment of the
appropriate fee. If you wish to have the inscription plate replaced
at any time a fee will be charged. Refurbishment of the inscription
plate can be arranged at any time at your expense.
It is the responsibility of the memorial right owner to ensure
that the right is renewed by the appropriate date if it is desired
to continue the memorial right. The Crematorium will write to the
last known address of the memorial right owner from time to time
and when the memorial right is due for renewal. You are recommended
to notify the crematorium if you change your address.
In those cases where the memorial right is not renewed the
inscription plate(s) will be removed and another family may use the
conifer. Any cremated remains at the foot of a memorial conifer
will not be disturbed if the memorial right lapses but the right to
place related cremated remains at the foot of the conifer will be
lost.
For an additional fee you may arrange to be present when the
cremated remains are either strewn at the foot of the
selected conifer or buried there in either an Urn, available
from the Crematorium, or a Wooden Casket, which can be supplied by
your Funeral Director or by the Crematorium. This ceremony normally
takes place Monday to Friday at a time convenient to you but a
limited number of appointments are available on a Saturday.
The Borough Council reserves the right to amend the fees
charged and any maintenance specified in these notes.
Details of the fees due for the memorial right, inscription
plates, etc are set out below. Cheques should be made payable to
'Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk ' or 'BCKLWN'. You
may also pay by credit/debit card.
