Standard overall height for most memorials are 2ft 6″ or 3ft but we can customise our designs to whatever size or material you need, subject to availability and approval by the cemetery.
Yes, we can put a small graveside surround called ‘Garden Kerbs’ around any headstone, providing the cemetery gives permission. We will be able to advise you on this and apply for a permit on your behalf.
We quote for inscriptions by character/letter rather than words. All our memorials with a cut/painted inscription include 80 letters for free and all our memorials with a cut /gilded with gold leaf inscription include 60 letters for free. How many words this translates to will depend on your individual inscription text. Each character beyond the number included with the memorial will cost £1.95 if painted or £2.80 if gilded with gold leaf on Granite, Marble, Portland Stone or Nabresina. Whilst many inscriptions are cut & gilded with gold leaf, having the inscription painted black/silver/white/gold remains an option. If you require lead lettering please contact us for a quote. Additional inscriptions being added to existing memorials will cost more and are priced on an individual basis.
