Replicas of the Book of Remembrance entry in the form of memorial cards or miniature books are available.
A replica of Thanet Crematorium Book of Remembrance, available in either blue or buff leather, containing the inscription as it appears or other wording as required.

For miniature books the image is trimmed and sewn into the book opposite the inscription, for memorial cards it is plastic laminated and then glued into the card. The original photograph will be returned with the completed order.
