For centuries memorials have been being created to remember loved ones and provide a focus for personal memories - a place to visit, lay flowers, and reflect on happy times.

There are many different options for burial and cremation memorials, and they can be adapted to suit personal requirements. Things to consider include:

- Colour

- Shape

- Style and colour of lettering

- Wording

- Type of material, for example granite or marble

- Application of a design or photo plaque

It is also very important to be aware of the regulations that govern the grave as there are restrictions at most burial grounds. We can provide guidance on this as they vary across the country and must be considered before a memorial is selected.

Memorial costs depend on the inscription and fixing of the memorial, as well as the location and fees set by the burial authority. We can talk you through all the options and work out the best memorial for you.
