A wall honouring cremated loved ones at a local cemetery has proven a worthy project, as plaques honouring departed loved ones now fill its top row.<\/p>\n
The Maddingley General Cemetery Trust completed the memorial wall in June this year, naming it \u2018The Allan Comrie Wall \u2013 For Plaques Acknowledging the lives of People Whose Ashes are Scattered Elsewhere\u2019 after 40-year volunteer at the cemetery Allan Comrie.<\/p>\n
Trust Member Rick Dickson said it was lovely seeing the community take up the concept.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe emotionally inspired idea of creating a place for remembrance where plaques acknowledging the lives of people whose ashes are scattered elsewhere can be installed has proven to be of great interest to the community. Already we have had eight plaques ordered and the complete top row on the wall has now been taken,\u201d Mr Dickson told the Moorabool News.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have created something that was missing for those that have lost loved ones. It is very touching to see the response we get once people understand the concept.\u201d<\/p>\n
The wall was first approved at a Trust meeting on 13 February this year, and was supported by Jim O\u2019Rourke from O\u2019Rourke Monuments.<\/p>\n
Five walls in the cemetery grounds have also been identified by the Trust to accommodate similar plaques in the future if the need arises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
