Sanctum (above ground) Vaults

The above ground vaults are set out in our serene memorial gardens and give the perfect place to reflect in a tranquil setting.

In each cemetery an area has been reserved for sanctum vaults and customers are welcome to choose the vault they would like. The newly installed Sanctum Vaults at Weston Mill are for two standard placements of ashes which must be in a casket.

The initial price includes the black granite tablet with an inscription of up to 80 characters and spaces (additional letters and designs can be added to the tablet at a cost), a gold topped vase for fresh or silk flowers and the placement fee. The tablet can take up to six weeks to be made.

Please note there are no new family vaults at Weston mill. All new Sanctum Vaults at Weston Mill are for the standard 2 ashes vaults for up to two standard sized caskets.

If you want a photo or design this can be an additional 2 weeks (up to 8 ) in total.

These vaults are available on a 10, 20 or 30 year renewable lease and no other items are permitted in the sanctum area.

Please note that at the end of the lease period, if the lease is not renewed and in the absence of any other instructions, after a period of six months from the renewal date the cremated remains will be removed from the vault and will be scattered in the Garden of Remembrance. The memorial tablet will be retained for six months for collection. If it is not collected within that period it will be destroyed.
