ADVICE

In most Churchyards and Cemeteries a Headstone can usually be fixed on a grave six months after the last burial has taken place as the ground requires this time to settle.

If cremated remains are interred into a full grave, a Headstone may be fixed immediately as the ground requires no settling period. All other cremation Memorials can be fixed immediately.

Memorials for Cemeteries

Cemeteries are council maintained and usually allow any natural material. However memorials must comply with the sizes laid down by the Cemetery authorities which in most cases restrict the use of full kerb stones.

Granite is very hard and durable and therefore not affected by the weather. It is easy to maintain.

There are various colours of granite i.e.: black, grey, red, blue and green. Although some granite is still quarried in Cornwall, most granites are now imported from other parts of the world particularly India and China.

Memorials for Churchyards

Permission for Memorials can only be given by the incumbent if the application complies with the rules laid down by the local diocese.

Suitable materials for a Churchyard are York stone, Purbeck stone and Nabresina stone to name but a few. Granite is also permitted into Churchyards but as a general rule only in light or dark grey with a non polished surface.

In some areas there may be restrictions on designs

Both Cemeteries and the Church charge a Fee for fixing a memorial and these charges will be added to the cost of the Memorial.

Once an order has been placed with us we can offer free of charge as a temporary measure a Vase on loan or small Wooden Cross with a name on it. This would be placed on the grave until the Memorial can be fixed.

When you have made your final decision we will deal with all the necessary administration on your behalf. We can also provide drawings to scale or a computer print out of your Memorial and inscription.
