The Book of Remembrance at Oakley Wood provides a dignified memorial of quality and permanence and is displayed in the Chapel of Remembrance. The Remembrance Chapel is open every day of the year. Each day a page is turned, permitting inscriptions to be seen on the anniversary of the entry date.

There is also touch screen electronic book of remembrance, permitting an image of the inscription to be seen on any day of the year.
Inscriptions may be of two, five or eight lines and can incorporate coats-of-arms, regimental crests or floral emblems.

Relatives decide on which date the entry is to be made, this may be the date of death, a birthday or wedding anniversary. They may view the original inscription on that date each year or an image of the inscription on any other day.
