Clay Hill Parish
Interment of Ashes Memorials
Clay Hill parish has two churches, St John’s and St Luke’s, both have memorials to those whose ashes have either
been interred or scattered within the church grounds.
A person may qualify to have their cremated remains interred in the church grounds if either:
•
they were at the time of death or had been at any time during their life for a minimum of two years on the
electoral roll of the Parish of Clay Hill or a participant in the Stewardship Scheme of the Parish of Clay Hill.
•
or they were an immediate relative of a person who qualified under the above criteria, providing that the person
has had, or intends to have, their ashes interred in the same grounds.
St Luke’s memorial ground is called the Macy Memorial Garden of Rest.
It is laid outside the east end of St Luke’s church as a place where ashes of
former parishioners can be interred.
It is a fitting and lasting memorial to the Rev Vincent Travers Macy, the first
vicar of St Luke’s from 1895 to 1906 and his wife Susanna. The ground for the
Memorial Garden was consecrated on 21st July 1968 and it was completed and
opened for use in 1969. The marble column in the centre of the garden is in
memory of Charles and Florence Southall, who were life-long members of St
Luke’s.
