Thames View Crematorium

Babies & Children

We're delighted to be able to offer a very special garden for babies and children. Within this garden we have a summer house for bereaved parents to leave small, personal items of remembrance for the children they have lost.

There's also a post-box in the garden where children can write a wildflower seeds card and ‘send it' to the person they've lost. The post box is emptied regularly and then we plant their cards into the garden, to create beautiful wildflower areas of remembrance. We think this is a gentle way for young people to understand more about death and to be able to be involved in a memorial.
