The new Poppy Garden at Randalls Park Crematorium
New Poppy Garden
A Service of Dedication was held at Randalls Park Crematorium in Surrey on Sunday 6 October to commemorate a new Poppy Garden that remembers those that lost their lives serving in the British Armed Forces. The service was led by the Reverend Graham Osborne and attended by members of the Royal British Legion.
"The donation of the Poppy Garden by Randalls Park Crematorium is a very generous gift and we cannot thank you enough," said Peter Wakeham of the Royal British Legion.
"Now that we have established the Poppy Garden we plan to have a Service of Remembrance every year on our front lawn," added crematorium manager, Alex May.
