A memorial pays tribute, as well as story boards, seating and peace roses. A yearly memorial service takes place on the 7,8 or 9 May at 2pm to remember those lost.
There is a war memorial also where wreaths are laid as a further act of remembrance.
There is a Columbarium Area within the cemetery to inter ashes of a loved one in, many ashes have been previously interred within this walling and are visited by families. Rose trees are dotted around and able to be leased.
The cemetery is full. There are no new full lawned burial graves to purchase. Burials will be taking place for years to come in this cemetery as many graves were previously reserved, or, there is still space available for further burials within a grave already used previously.
There is also a baby cemetery. Parents of many of the baby graves have adorned their grave with items which are against the rules and regulations. Bereavement Services have respected the parents need to grieve, however, in new areas of the baby cemetery and at other cemeteries memorabilia is not allowed and against the current rules and regulations and will be removed.

After a tree survey was carried out within the cemetery the data was shared with the Tree Register of Great Britain and it was confirmed as the new Girth Champion of not just East Yorkshire, but of England, with a girth of 512 cm. The previous girth champion is in Canterbury, Kent and is smaller by 12 cm.
