Memorial Wall
At Lakefield Cemetery, our Memorial Wall and custom memorial plaques offer a meaningful way to honor loved ones, even if they are not interred on our grounds. Whether you have scattered remains at a cottage or on the water, many families find they still desire a permanent place of remembrance. Our high-quality memorial plaques provide that essential physical touchstone for family and friends to visit and reflect.
Furthermore, the Memorial Wall serves as a physical touchstone for family and friends. You can find this tranquil space located just south of our serene Memorial Walkway.
We currently offer two beautiful options for your lasting tributes Leaf & Butterfly plaques. Each plaque provides ample space for a name, lifespan, and a personalized epitaph. Additionally, these custom memorial plaques ensure that our historic, professionally maintained grounds preserve your loved one’s legacy forever.
Custom Bronze Leaf Memorial Plaques: You may select a spot on the East or West side of the wall. As more families place these leaves, the wall evolves into a beautiful, symbolic tree canopy.
Vibrant Butterfly Memorial Plaques: We offer these in a variety of vibrant colors on the North and South sides of the wall. However, please note that we have limited availability for this style.
The Importance of a Permanent Legacy
Choosing a permanent place of remembrance is a vital step in the healing process. While many families today choose cremation or scattering at a meaningful location like a family cottage, they often find that they still desire a dedicated space to visit on anniversaries or special occasions.
Our memorial plaques provide a “home” for your loved one’s legacy within our historic cemetery. Specifically, this ensures that even if a family property is sold or a scattering location becomes difficult to access, future generations will always have a peaceful, sacred space to return to for reflection and connection.
Benefits of Our Memorial Wall
Our grounds are professionally maintained by our non-profit, community-based cemetery. Consequently, your dedication is preserved with the highest level of care. Additionally, the wall serves as a physical touchstone for friends and family. It offers a sense of permanence that scattering alone cannot provide.
The Process for Custom Memorial Plaques
Securing a dedication on our Memorial Wall is a simple and respectful experience. First, you can choose between the symbolic Bronze Leaf plaques or the vibrant Butterfly plaques.
Next, you can personalize the tribute. Each plaque offers ample space for a name and a personalized epitaph. Furthermore, you may select a specific spot on the wall that feels right for your family. Finally, our staff handles the professional installation to ensure a lasting tribute.
A Tranquil Setting for Reflection
The Memorial Wall is located just south of our serene Memorial Walkway. Because it is tucked away from busier areas, it remains very quiet. In fact, the natural beauty of Lakefield provides a comforting backdrop for visitors. Here, the wind in the trees and the peaceful scenery help honor the memory of those you love.
