Post by: justmej on Sunday 29 March 09 22:21 BST (UK)

While visiting the cemetery today, I took a few photographs, of the beautiful new memorial garden, which has been unveiled at Ropery Lane Cemetery, Chester-le-Street.  The story behind it can be seen here...

This seems to be quite a new thing, one of my local cemetaries also has something similar.
