Crematorium facilities
The Chapel
A fully accessible venue that seats just over 100 people, with a multimedia playback and recording system. Our database has a large library of music for all tastes, and we can web cast services, record sound and vision, or display slideshows and photographs supplied by the family.
For more information, please contact us.
Columbarium
Latin for 'dovecot', this is a memorial structure next to the memorial garden in Stonefall cemetery. It offers an alternative to the formal strewing or burial of cremated remains, with niche resting places and areas for plaques, which can be personalised with inscriptions and motifs.
Garden of remembrance
The original garden of remembrance at Stonefall cemetery was opened in 1937 and provides a tranquil area landscaped with trees and shrubs where ashes were strewn until the opening of the memorial garden. Cremated remains can still be strewn here, if specifically requested, although plaque availability is limited.
The memorial garden
The garden at Stonefall cemetery is constantly developing through the careful planting of trees, shrubs and flowers. It provides a comforting, tranquil area to visit. The unique design incorporates sculptures, a stream with a pond and bridge, and an informal wild flower area. The garden is the main strewing area for cremated remains and for displaying memorial plaques.
Ripon memorial wall
