garden of remembrance

garden of remembrance
   the curtilage of a crematorium
   Usually a few seats, some roses, a path, some slabs, and a lawn, all of which are soon forgotten:
    There is something comfortlessly empty about a 'garden of remembrance' after the loquacious populated feeling of a graveyard. (I. Murdoch, 1978)
   An American garden of honor is that part of a cemetery where you can put up a plate naming a dead serviceman and a garden crypt a drawer for corpses facing outward:
    Crypts facing outside... are now called 'garden crypts'... 'It's all part of the trend towards outdoor living,' explained the counsellor. (J. Mitford, 1963)
