About Us

A tranquil place for rest and remembrance.

We care for the Harewood Memorial Gardens and the memorials of your loved ones. We’re guardians to generations of Cantabrians.

Our committed team are here for you

Organising a service and cremation and a memorial can be a difficult, emotional journey. Our team are here to help.

Your support team

We’re here to support you and answer all your questions. We’ve cared for grieving Cantabrians since 1963, and bring compassion and experience to every situation.

Your gardeners

Our dedicated gardeners look after the gardens, tending the roses and maintaining the mature trees. We see our work as a service to our community, beautiful evidence of our promise to care for your loved one in perpetuity.

Researching your genealogy

If you’re researching your family’s history and your relative was cremated here, we can help you find answers, including their date of death and cremation, and where any memorial is located.
