Remember someone special at the RAF Association Memorial Garden

The RAF Association Memorial Garden is situated within the beautiful and tranquil Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire.

The garden is dedicated to all those who selflessly devoted their lives to their country. No matter how long they served and regardless of in what capacity. It is open to everyone, including:

  • Serving and ex-serving RAF personnel
  • The families of RAF personal
  • Anyone who shares the ethos of the RAF

At the centre of the garden sits a beautiful statue of the RAF Association’s ‘Eagle on the Globe’ emblem. The statue is made from over 1,000 individually crafted feathers and stands three metres high on a black marble plinth.

How to remember a loved one

Memorial Cross

For £25, a cross bearing a personalised message may be placed in the garden for one year. After this time you may choose to renew your cross annually for £25 per year. The message can be refreshed if required and will be laid in the garden for another 12 month period.
