There is a small Garden of Remembrance at the rear of the Sociedad Compás.
This Garden of Remembrance was designed in 2005 specifically for the placement of the cremated remains of Freemasons should they or their families so desire it. The garden is situated in a peaceful setting away from the entrances and out of view of the public. This garden is a memorial to all who have had their ashes scattered there and loved ones are welcome to visit the garden for peaceful reflection.
There are two options for the placement of ashes, it can be arranged for the ashes to be placed with a minimum of ceremony either by the family or a representative or arrangements can be made for a small service carried out by Brethren from a local Lodge.
The placement of the ashes is recorded by a simple plaque mounted on the wall behind the garden just giving the name and dates of the Brother whose ashes have been placed in the Garden thereby allowing the family to commemorate the life of a loved one.
A book of Remembrance has been placed in Sociedad Compás and the names of everyone whose ashes have been scattered in the Garden will be recorded in it. The Book of Remembrance will always be open, on view and turned to the appropriate page every month so that entries for that month can be viewed.
If any Brother would like his ashes to be placed in the Garden of Remembrance they should talk to their family and advise them of their wishes and maybe leave instructions with their will. The ashes of family members may also be scattered on the Garden and although there will be no plaque their names will be entered into the Book of Remembrance.
