‘The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.’

Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero is considered one of Rome’s greatest orators. His quote reminds us that we all play a role in keeping the spirit and memory of the dead alive.

‘If life must not be taken too seriously, then so neither must death.’

Samuel Butler

The iconoclastic and controversial English author Samuel Butler took the idea that ‘you can’t take life too seriously’ to its logical conclusion and applied it to death too.

‘Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.’

Haruki Murakami

We often think of life and death as irreconcilable opposites, but the Japanese writer Haruki Murakami prefers to consider them as inextricably bound together.

‘How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?’

Carson McCullers

McCullers questioned whether or not we do in fact die when we stop breathing by asking if a part of us can live on in others’ memories and approaches to life.

Personalised

There are flat screen TVs in the reception and lounge areas, together with multi-room audio in all areas.
