A peaceful place to remember loved ones and lasting connections
How to Apply
Many families choose to honour a loved one at Metropolitan. Metropolitan Bushey holds deep connections with former Metropolitan Police Service officers and staff, as well as members who shared sporting, social, or community ties with us.
We welcome memorial applications where space allows. All memorials must meet our specifications and are subject to approval by our board of directors.
Alongside a limited number of trees, we are also planning to have a Memorial Wall, offering a meaningful way to commemorate loved ones without the cost or ongoing maintenance of a physical installation.

Memorial Options and Guidance
We understand how important it is to honour loved ones with a meaningful memorial. This section provides guidance on the available options at Metropolitan.
Trees
Although we have extensive grounds, much of the land is used for sport and events. This means only a small number of trees can be planted each year. All applications are considered, but approvals are limited.
Plaques (Memorial Wall)
Our planned Memorial Wall will provide a dedicated space for plaques, offering a lasting tribute without the maintenance requirements of a bench or tree.
Memorial Requirements
- All benches — including picnic benches — must be made from recycled composite plastic. This material is environmentally friendly, durable, and low-maintenance.
- The location of any approved bench or tree will be determined by the club to ensure safety, accessibility, and suitability.
- Plaques placed on the Memorial Wall will remain in their fixed location and will not be moved.
Costs & Maintenance
Metropolitan does not charge for placing a memorial.
However, the club does not maintain memorials on behalf of families. Please plan for any upkeep such as flowers, cleaning, or plaque polishing.
As a non-profit organisation, we also welcome donations from families who prefer to support the club in lieu of placing a bench or tree.
