Westpark Chapel - Under the Rata Memorial Garden

Under The Rata Memorial Garden Christchurch

Under the Rata is one of our exceptional Christchurch memorial gardens created for the remembrance of loved ones.

Nestled within the grounds of Lamb & Hayward’s Westpark Chapel, the memorial garden has been architecturally designed to provide a respectful resting place for the interment of ashes, or an area for memorialisation; a remarkable and enduring asset for the Christchurch & Canterbury community.

We believe that having a focal point for remembering, offers people both resolution and a legacy for future generations. At Under the Rata memorial garden there are unique and varied options for alternative forms of ceremony and commemoration.

­This Christchurch memorial garden provides ample car parking and paved surfaces throughout, ensuring easy access to restful areas for reflection and contemplation.
