Details of
the application procedure, and prices for an entry, are sent to the
Applicant for Cremation (the person who signed the forms when
arranging the funeral). For the first year, only the Applicant can
apply and details are sent to them approximately two weeks after
the funeral. Thereafter, other family members can submit an
application.
Entries are normally on the date of death; however, any other
date may be selected, for example a birthday or wedding
anniversary. The year is not specified unless included in the
inscription. The entry is a permanent memorial, displayed annually
on the chosen date.
Viewing is from inside the Book of Remembrance Room from 9am to
5pm weekdays and 9am to 12.30pm weekends and bank holidays, and,
thereafter, from outside the room, through the display windows,
whilst the grounds are
still open.
As an additional facility, entries can be viewed on the
Electronic Book of Remembrance using a swipe card or can be viewed
free of charge on the internet at www.scribesplus.co.uk/peterborough/

Memorial Vases in the Book of Remembrance Room
Where someone has chosen to have an inscription in the Book of
Remembrance, they may request to have a memorial vase, adjacent to
the Book of Remembrance, on the day the entry is displayed.
There are a maximum of six vases available each day between 9am
and 4.30pm (12.30pm weekends and Bank Holidays). At 4.30pm
(weekdays) the flower vases are transferred to a side wall where
they remain until 4.30pm the following evening. The stand is then
transferred to the Chapel to make space for the next day's
vases.
When the Book of Remembrance Room is closed at weekends and Bank
Holidays, the Books of Remembrance will be turned so that they can
be viewed through the windows on the outside of the building. Vases
will be available for public use on the outside of the Book of
Remembrance Room and the reserved vases adjacent to the viewing
windows.
As there may be more requests for vases than are available, they
are allocated on a first come, first served basis and bookings can
be made up to one month in advance; for example bookings for the
10th March will be taken from the 10th February. Bookings can only
be made by telephone, or in person, by families who have
inscriptions in the Book of Remembrance on the date requested.
Vases are not to be moved, or removed, from the Book of
Remembrance room under any circumstances.
For those who are unsuccessful, a stand of unlabelled vases is
available both inside and, when closed, outside the Book of
Remembrance Room.
If you would like to request a vase reservation for the Book of
Remembrance, please telelphone the Bereavement Services office or
alternatively email crematorium@peterborough.gov.uk detailing
the date that you wish to reserve the vase and the name of the
deceased.
Please note that we can only guarantee that a vase has been
reserved once you have received an emailed confirmation.
