Roucan Loch 2008


Image: Roucan Loch

Roucan Loch Crematorium is set in 10 acres of undulating countryside and almost hidden from view, offers a peaceful resting place.

 

The natural beauty of Roucan Loch is its most important feature and a number of options for remembering loved ones are available


Ross loved animals and kept tropical fish, so the opportunity to dedicate the ‘fish’ in loving memory of him was an easy decision to make.


Two weeks after Ross’s funeral we returned to Roucan Loch on what would have been his twenty-fifth birthday.

 

We had probably walked approximately a third of the way around the Loch when Jim asked if there were any fish in the loch?
Instantly, a trout jumped out of the water as if to answer the question.

 

We continued to walk around the loch and back again and in all that time we did not see any more fish, and did not ask the question again.

There are two swans on the Loch, and some ducks had also been introduced recently, although some have disappeared.

 

The woods in the vicinity are home to a number of deer.

There are also badgers, foxes and mink close by.

 

There are rabbits on the slopes close to the loch and an abundance of other wildlife with a variety of bird species, butterflies, dragonflies, crickets, and others.

 

The wreath laid at the plaque at the side of the loch which dedicates the fish in loving memory of Ross.

And at the 'memorial lodge' where the books of rememberance are located.
