Book of Remembrance
and Memorials

A notice in the Book of Remembrance or a personally selected memorial can be a special tribute.

The book of Remembrance offers a beautiful and lasting memorial to those who have been cremated at Salisbury Crematorium. The book consists of two volumes, each volume displayed in the remembrance chapel. The pages are turned daily to reflect the current date, so that a lasting record appears at each anniversary date according to the date chosen. The date under which the entry appears in normally the date of death however any date can be chosen such as a birthday or a wedding anniversary.

Each inscription can consist of up to eight lines, with the minimum being a two line entry. Inscriptions can be illuminated by an emblem / motif of your choosing, for example a coate of arms, military, club or society badge, spray of flowers or bird. If you would like a special motif please include a detailed drawing or photo that the studio can work from. Please talk through the choices available with the crematorium staff.

There are various memorials available at the Crematorium as a lasting tribute.
