Located in North Christchurch, The Harewood Crematorium is surrounded by several acres of peaceful and beautifully tended memorial gardens. The gardens were designed with a blend between formal rose gardens and a park-like setting for those desiring a permanent internment. Staff take tremendous pride in the quality of the gardens with approximately 3000 bush roses, all of show standard, and the immaculate lawns. The effect is a tranquil setting where people are encouraged to visit, honour their loved ones and enjoy the gardens.
The gardens have been set apart for the placing of individual Memorial plaques which contain the final remains. You may select Harewood Memorial Gardens as a final resting place for yourself or a loved one, irrespective of where the cremation service was held. Every Memorial is maintained in perpetuity, giving each family the reassurance that the memorial for their loved one will be cared for.
A Memorial provides a focus for grief and remembrance. Designing a Memorial can help complete the natural process of mourning for many families. A final tribute for their loved one can be arranged in the form of granite, ceramic or bronze Memorial plaques inscribed to their requirements and placed in any of our many garden settings.
Understanding the need to remember your loved ones with a visible Memorial, Harewood Memorial Gardens provide a dignified and peaceful area to visit, to reflect and to provide a mark of respect and love. Visitors to the gardens are welcome at all times.
