Summary
- A new memorial bench honors those buried in unmarked graves.
- The bench is situated in Darwen Cemetery's Ashes and Memorial Garden.
- The Friends of Darwen Cemetery provided the bench for reflection.
A new memorial bench has been established in Darwen Cemetery, offering a dedicated space for remembrance.
Located within the Ashes and Memorial Garden, this seat honors individuals interred in unmarked graves. These include stillborn babies and many local residents who lack a marked resting place.
The Friends of Darwen Cemetery (FODC) provided the bench. The charity has assisted families in locating relatives buried in common graves, which historically held infants, stillbirths, and epidemic victims.
This memorial is intended as a peaceful spot for the community to reflect, pray, and remember loved ones. The FODC also maintains a website to aid individuals in finding information about graves.
