Memorialisation

Memorials

For thousands of years mankind has felt the need to erect a memorial to mark the sense of loss, love and respect felt for a family member or friend. It provides a focal point of affection and remembrance as a celebration of a much cherished individual life. It is a statement of not being forgotten. It can be an expression of undying love and a help in the grieving process through which we are all likely to go at some point in our lives.

Our Objective

There is a wide range of choice both in product and price. As a result, we hope that you will be able to find a memorial that you feel is appropriate in this setting and at a price which you feel comfortable with.

Please do not hesitate to approach a member of our staff if there is anything which you would like to know more about or simply discuss. They are there to be of assistance to you.

Making Arrangements

Our staff are not only at your service to select a fitting memorial, if you require them to do so; but they will also assist you with the necessary paperwork, and make you aware of the terms, conditions and general regulations. They can do this on the site, over the phone, via email, by sending information to you in the post or by visiting you at home. The choice is yours.

Home Memorials

Some people may not want to return to the crematorium but still wish to have a fitting tribute to the memory of their loved one in the familiar surrounds of their own home and often where the memories of that person are felt the strongest.

On-site Memorials

Many of the below options have variations and can be tailored to personal taste. Moreover, we can supply any of the below products and arrange their fitting to any area of the United Kingdom in private addresses, crematoria, cemeteries or churchyards subject to local restrictions and regulations.

Garden & Lake Marker

Garden & Lake Markers markers are carved from local stone or from a range of granites from UK quarries. The stone is bored out to allow the incorporation of the cremated remains and are capped with a bronze dedication plate. These may either sit in the water at the edge of the lake or on the path by the lake.
