Our gardens are a place of tranquillity and solace, holding cherished memories for many families who have been touched by our Hospice’s care and support. We often receive requests from families who wish to pay tribute to their loved ones in our gardens, but we are limited by space and unable to accommodate benches or trees.

We offer the opportunity to be a part of our gardens through a Memory Stone, which can be engraved with the name of your loved one. This special tribute will be placed in our Memory Fountain, where it will remain for one year.

After the initial year, you can choose to renew the tribute or take it home as a keepsake. This is a beautiful way to honour your loved one’s memory and contribute to the peaceful and comforting atmosphere of our gardens.

We are grateful for your support and dedication to our mission to lead and deliver high-quality, multi-professional specialist palliative care, support and education across Tameside and Glossop. Thank you for considering a gift to Willow Wood Hospice.

As each memory stone is crafted by hand especially in memory your loved one, it can take up to twelve weeks from ordering, for your stone to arrive at the Hospice.
