Indoor dedication and online Book of Remembrance
The Remembrance Room is a quiet place for reflection. It is near the entrance of Landican Cemetery and contains two types of memorials. These are a Book of Remembrance and inscribed memorial wall plaques known as a boutonniere plaques.
Book of Remembrance
An entry inscribed in the Book of Remembrance is a permanent memorial. It allows you to remember a loved one in a personal and unique way.
An entry in the Book of Remembrance includes:
- an inscription
- the date the entry is to appear in the book. This doesn’t have to be the date of death. Instead could be a birth date, or an anniversary.
- an emblem or other artwork that may be special to the family
Each volume of the book contains entries for three months and will be open on today's day.
The entry can also be viewed via a digital screen in the Remembrance Room.
It will also be shown in the online Book of Remembrance.
