Honouring a loved one’s memory is a deeply personal journey, and enhancing their monument can provide a meaningful tribute. However, deciding how to best personalize these spaces can be a challenge, especially when aiming to balance aesthetics with maintenance. At Woodlawn Memorial Park, we offer various services to help you create and maintain a beautiful memorial that reflects your loved one’s legacy.

Flower Bed Arrangements

Incorporating a flower bed around a monument adds vibrant life and symbolizes ongoing remembrance. Our Flowerbed Order Form offers a selection of arrangements to suit your preferences:

  • Seasonal Blooms: Our team selects the plantings that will bloom best in the area of your loved one. We take into consideration the lighting and soil conditions in each location. This helps to ensure a successful growing season with vibrant colour and lush foliage. Bulbs can also be planted in the fall to have a fresh start for the following spring season.
  • Flowerbed Preparations: Our team will cut out the flowerbed and prepare the soil for your family to plant your own flowers.
  • Summer Maintenance: You plant the flowers and we will water and weed your flowerbed as required based on weather conditions.

Selecting the right service can enhance the monument’s appearance and offer a place of solace and reflection.

Monument Cleaning Services

Over time, monuments can accumulate dirt and become weathered, diminishing their appearance. Regular maintenance is essential to preserve their dignity:

  • Professional Cleaning: Our team uses gentle, non-invasive methods to clean and restore monuments without causing damage.
  • Scheduled Maintenance: Set up regular cleaning schedules to ensure the monument remains pristine throughout the years.

Maintaining the monument’s condition reflects ongoing respect and remembrance for your loved one.

Saddle Wreaths

When traditional flower beds aren’t in bloom, you can still honor your loved one with a beautiful display. Consider our memorial wreath options to keep your tribute looking elegant year-round:

  • Everlasting Saddle Wreaths: As pictured above, our saddle wreaths are permitted year-round and can be left up in any season. They provide a timeless, low-maintenance tribute, securely fitting atop a monument to honour your loved one.
  • Placement Services: Our team can place a saddle on your behalf, ensuring the site remains beautiful even in your absence.

Enhancing a monument is a touching way to celebrate a loved one’s life. At Woodlawn Memorial Park, we’re here to assist you in creating and maintaining a memorial that stands as a lasting tribute. Let us help you honour your loved one’s legacy with care and compassion, contact our team today.
