    I hereby request the Bereavement Services Division to supply and install a granite plaque in the memorial garden. I wish to have the plaque inscribed as outlined on the Order form completed.

    AGREEMENT It is clearly understood by me that the right of erection of the memorial plaque shall expire at the end of 10 YEARS from the date of the Agreement herein is signed, unless application is made by me to the Division for a renewal of the rights granted and the appropriate fee paid before the expiry date.

    To ensure that the gardens remain uncluttered and a place of tranquillity for all visitors, we ask that you restrict your flower provision to the vases included with the memorial plaque and refrain from placing any personal mementos on the flower beds or lawns. Please place any plastic or paper wrappings in the bins provided.

    Any personal items found on the beds or lawns will be removed without notification. Should you wish to place any additional flowers in the gardens, you may use the flower provision adjacent to the Book of Remembrance room.
