memorial garden

Space honoring deceased

A memorial garden is a landscaped space dedicated to remembering the dead.

Some are attached to cemeteries or crematoria, where ashes may be scattered or interred.

Others honor specific groups—fallen soldiers, victims of disasters, beloved community members.

The term also applies to private gardens planted in someone's memory: She created a memorial garden for her late husband.
