Memorials

A memorial is a lasting symbol of remembrance and a tribute to a life, providing us with a real focus for our memories of loved ones.

The most common type of memorial is a gravestone. Placed over the burial site in a cemetery, it represents a final resting place - somewhere for friends and relatives to visit and quietly reflect on happy memories.

Headstones are available in a variety of different stones and styles, allowing you to choose the most fitting of lasting tributes. Certain cemeteries follow a strict code regarding the shape and style of headstones, but we are happy to liaise with your chosen cemetery to make sure that there is no conflict.

Memorial headstones usually bear inscriptions, the name of the person that has died along with their date of birth and death. This can be accompanied by a phrase or epitaph generally chosen by the close next of kin. Different stone varieties naturally have varying properties, and some take inscription-carving better than others, so it may be useful to discuss headstone varieties with us to find the best option for your needs.
