Memorial designs<\/h2>\n

Our award winning artists and craftsmen pride themselves on creating unique, highly detailed pieces of art for use in many different ways on our range of memorials. This helps ensure that any memorial chosen is personal enough to respectfully mark a person\u2019s life. More intricate custom designs are always available. We can transform a basic idea into a beautiful design to compliment any memorial. An official badge or a family crest can be translated into a memorial design to suit most spaces. For an extra special touch, we are able to translate a child\u2019s own drawing into a personal design suitable for use on a vase, desk or memorial.<\/p>\n

Materials<\/h2>\n

\"\"
\nThe choice of material may be affected by the location of the proposed memorial. For example, a marble memorial under a tree could result in staining from tree sap or decaying leaves. In this case, it would be better to use granite which is virtually non-porous. Do remember that all natural stone, by its very nature, can vary in colour.<\/p>\n

\n

Lettering and existing memorials<\/h2>\n

We can advise on the style of lettering and wording of the inscription. Your choice of lettering may depend on the material you choose. Gilded letters typically look better on dark, polished memorials, whereas cut and painted letters are better suited to granite or marble.<\/p>\n

In the case of an existing memorial, it will probably be necessary to remove it from the grave prior to the funeral and we recommend that we keep it safely for you. This will enable us to provide a report and estimate of costs for necessary work. The report will include details of the stone\u2019s condition and wording of the inscription.<\/p>\n
