Memorial Garden, Exeter
The Garden was designed and built jointly by the City’s Bereavement Department headed by Manager Ian Quance and Langmead Memorials. Building work commenced in February 08 overseen by Cemetery Superintendant Gordon Lang and Langmead’s Works Manager Matt Keyte. Everything went well and the Garden was opened on the 23rd of May by The Lord Mayor of Exeter, Councillor Paul Smith.
The ceremony also included the sealing of a time capsule.

The Garden offers six options for cremated remains, a lawned area for the strewing of ashes with an inscribed granite plaque placed on the central ’eternal flame’ granite feature, standard or tea roses with an inscribed green granite leaf, individual or ‘wheel’ gardens with ’star galazy ‘or’ cats eye granite’ memorials and an area of ‘blue pearl’ granite desk tablets.
“The Garden is already popular with the people of Exeter and it has been a pleasure to work with such an enthusiastic bereavement department” says Langmead’s Keith Marsh.
