WDC - Book of Remembrance Calligraphy and associated services at Oakley Wood Crematorium. - AWARD

Warwick District Council is looking to appoint a supplier to provide calligraphy services for its Book of Remembrance and also support the electronic Book of Remembrance.

The Book of Remembrance at Oakley Wood provides a dignified memorial of quality and permanence and is displayed in the Chapel of Remembrance. The Remembrance Chapel is open every day of the year. Each day a page is turned, permitting inscriptions to be seen on the anniversary of the entry date.

There is also touch screen electronic book of remembrance, permitting an image of the inscription to be seen on any day of the year.

Inscriptions may be of two, five or eight lines and can incorporate coats-of-arms, regimental crests or floral emblems. Details of the Book of Remembrance are sent to the applicant for the cremation, approximately one week after the date of cremation. Relatives decide on which date the entry is to be made, this may be the date of death, a birthday or wedding anniversary. They may view the original inscription on that date each year or an image of the inscription on any other day.

An open day event is being held, 10am - 3pm, Wednesday 3rd January 2018 to view the electronic book of remembrance.

If you would like to attend, please send conformation through the correspondence on the portal by 12noon, Friday 22 December 2017. Upon confirmation, further information will be provided regarding the event.
