St Mary has a Memorial Wall which is situated behind the church. The brick wall construction provides niches to hold cremated remains with a bronze plaque over the front to commemorate deceased members of our Parish. The Memorial Walls has 80 available spaces.

The facility is set up in the same way as in public cemeteries but with the advantage of being located in the grounds of the parish church. Each niche is designed to hold a standard sized container of the deceased person’s ashes.

Relatives of the deceased will have to make their own funeral/cremation arrangements and deliver the container of ashes to the Parish. If there are no cremated remains to be stored a niche and plaque will be available as a memorial site for the same cost.  

The Memorial Wall is available to parishioners of St Mary’s, their families and to others who can establish a connection with St Mary’s. Exceptions will be at the discretion of the Parish Priest.

The bronze plaque will be of a standard uniform size and will be supplied through a nominated supplier. Plaques and niches are supplied on a permanent basis. 

Samples of plaques and a list of appropriate wording is available. Plastic flowers are not permitted. Relatives can arrange blessing and consecration of the plaque directly with the Parish Priest. 

For further information and cost call the parish office.
