A remembrance Garden is made up of a well covered with a grating which is concealed by pebbles or looses stones. Ashes are dispersed on pebbles and then penetrate in the openings. This garden could be designed like linear shape or curve shape like a "pebbles river" with a grating under the pebbles or not. This solution required obviously a larger superficies than the "well solution".

• You would have to forecast a ceremony table which will enable you to lay down the funeral urn during the last ceremony just before ashes was dispersed.
