Memorials

We can create a memorial on your behalf, including a rose (supplied by David Austin Roses), commemorative plaque and fixture, for £200 (£300 from 1 April 2026). 

As well as covering the physical aspects of the tribute, this fee will enable gardeners to maintain and care for your rose, ensuring it flourishes and blooms, honouring your loved one for years to come.

To order your own rose and plaque, request an order form from customer services using the details at the bottom of this page.
