When choosing a memorial, there are several key factors to consider:

• Cemetery Regulations: Each cemetery has its own guidelines regarding memorial sizes, materials and designs. We can advise on specific requirements.
• Material Choice: Granite is the most popular choice due to its durability and range of colours. Marble and other stones are also available.
• Design Style: From traditional headstones to modern designs, we offer a wide range of options to suit all preferences.
• Inscriptions: Consider the wording, font style and any additional elements like images or symbols.
• Budget: We offer memorials across a range of price points and can discuss options that suit your budget.

Choosing a reputable memorial mason is essential. Here's what to look for:

• NAMM Membership: Members of the National Association of Memorial Masons follow a strict code of practice and quality standards.
• Experience: Look for a company with a proven track record and years of experience in the industry.
• Local Knowledge: A mason familiar with local cemeteries will understand specific regulations and requirements.
• Quality of Work: Ask to see examples of previous work or visit showrooms to assess craftsmanship.
• Aftercare: Ensure the mason offers maintenance and repair services for the future.

Memorial costs vary based on several factors:

• Size: Larger memorials require more material and labour.
• Material: Different stone types have different costs.
• Design Complexity: Intricate carvings and custom designs add to the cost.
• Inscription Length: More text means more engraving work.
• Installation: Cemetery permit fees and foundation work are additional considerations.
