The Book of Remembrance
The Book of Remembrance is a beautifully crafted leather-bound book in which a perpetual memorial of a loved one cremated at Hamilton Park Crematorium can be inscribed. An inscription of personal choice is entered on the date the loved one passed away.
The book is displayed in a viewing window at the administraion office and pages are turned daily to display the names inscribed on the related day of the year.
Costs are based on the length of inscription. The basic entry consists of the date of death, the name of the deceased and a 36 letter inscription. Please refer to our fees and charges for this cost. For costings on longer inscriptions, please contact Hamilton Park Cemetery office.
To order an entry for this book please download the order form. Once completed send it, along with payment, to Hamilton Park Cemetery.
