Memorials
The Windsor Estate is held in much affection by many and, as such, we receive a significant number of requests for the placement of memorial benches, trees and plaques for loved ones.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate all the requests. Therefore, to be fair to everyone, we have taken the decision to stop any future memorials and donations of items for placement on the Estate.
The Windsor Estate does however permit the scattering of ashes within Windsor Great Park. More information about this can be viewed below.
The Windsor Estate does permit the scattering of ashes in Windsor Great Park with the exception of The Savill Garden and any private areas of the Estate. No charge is levied for the scattering of ashes.
The Windsor Estate appreciates that this activity is often very personal, difficult and sensitive and the utmost respect and privacy will be shown to all concerned. However, there are several important provisos which need to be taken into account and which are best made clear at the outset –
- No temporary or permanent monuments, vases of flowers or other mementoes of any kind are permitted at the site
- Very large or formal rituals cannot be accommodated. A simple ceremony with a limited number of participants is acceptable
- The ashes, must be scattered in the long grass and not on freshly mown grass. Once scattered, they will not be deliberately disturbed but, inevitably, the weather and standard landscape and horticultural practices will result in disturbance over time
- Ashes must be scattered rather than left in larger, more visible, piles
- Ashes must not be scattered near or on any lake or body of water
- Other members of the public have access to all areas of Windsor Great Park in which ashes may be scattered, and this cannot, in any way, be altered or affected
- The agreement to permit the scattering of ashes does not provide for any other privilege such as any driving in Windsor Great Park, free entry to car parks or Gardens, or out of hours admission into Windsor Great Park
Assuming these conditions are acceptable please contact us with the following information:
- The number of people involved
- The nature of the ceremony
- The suggested time and date
- The specific area involved
Please complete the application form to scatter ashes contacting us at least ten (10) working days prior to when you wish to visit Windsor Great Park.
The Windsor Estate reserves the right to refuse permission for this activity should any element be deemed unacceptable.
