Memorials

Memorial headstones, markers, vases, kerbs

As part of our service, we can offer families a selection of memorial stones. The memorial is a long lasting tribute to your loved one, and with the choice available it can be a daunting task to choose the most fitting. We will help you with this, showing you examples of styles, materials then crucially discuss how to pen the appropriate words.

Memorials for graves can be simple, ornate or modern headstones and can include kerbed grave enclosures and flower vases. Memorial markers and plaques for cremations are of various designs.

The memorial must conform to local regulations for dimensions and type. This varies with each location, whether it is the local cemetery or a woodland burial. Within a cemetery, there are areas defined as "Lawn Plots", where the area above each grave is grassed. Generally these areas cannot be soiled or planted, nor have memorials with kerbs or enclosures, nor have memorials with large ground areas.

We will order the memorial as part of our service from one of our suppliers.
