Memorial Gardens

Memorial garden at Hazlehead Park

 

A Memorial Garden for families affected by the unacceptable past practices at Aberdeen Crematorium has been created at Hazlehead Park.

 

Work on the Memorial Garden, which is situated in a quiet and peaceful area away from the main park was completed in June 2019.

 

If you would like a plaque to be placed in the Memorial Garden, please complete an application form on the Aberdeen City website.

Memorial Garden at Hazlehead Cemetery

 

The Sands Garden at the Hazlehead Cemetery  was opened by the Lord Provost in June 2014.  Aberdeen SANDS funded the creation of the garden and is dedicated to the memory of all babies who have died.

 

A wall surrounds a memorial stone engraved with the words ‘To the world a baby, to us the world, briefly in our lives forever in our hearts’ The garden also includes three oak benches with inscriptions on which parents and families can sit and reflect.

 

It is a tranquil place where parents, families and anyone else affected by the loss of a baby can visit and remember their baby in peace.

Memorial Stone at Hazlehead Crematorium

 

Aberdeen SANDS have also erected a small memorial stone up at Hazlehead Crematorium where families can visit and remember their baby.
