Slate Memorial Plaques

There are three sorts of plaque that can be bought through the burial ground. To ensure the site never feels untidy in a human sense, no memorials other than these are permitted.

When a family chooses to have a Memorial Tree, there is the option of purchasing a small slate plaque, onto which can be engraved the name and dates of a loved one, together with a few chosen words. The plaques are secured onto low wooden posts, and placed in the ground beside the Memorial Tree.

Around the burial ground, there are also a number of strong wooden Memorial Posts, onto which slate memorial plaques can be fixed. These plaques are larger than those made for the trees, and can also be engraved with your loved one’s name, dates and some words. A simple picture may also be possible. In the photograph here there is just one plaque on the post; each post has space for a 12 - 18 plaques (see the post on this page).

Further, upon the inner lintel of the Memorial Roundhouse, a slate plaque can also be secured.

Plaques are cleaned and oiled by staff at the burial ground a few times a year, but we choose not to use chemicals or varnish them.

If you would like to order a plaque to be installed somewhere other than at Sun Rising Natural Burial Ground, please let us know. We are happy to supply plaques whatever your particular needs; please get in touch and we can give you a quotation.
