MEMORIALS
Memorials i.e. Headstones and Full Grave Stones are a very personal choice to mark the resting place of a loved one and as such I suggest that you take great care in choosing a memorial as a mistake can be costly. The best thing to do is take your time and have a look around in the Cemetery or Churchyard in which you wish to put a memorial so that you can see what is allowed by the Governing body (some Governing bodies only allow Headstones now), also you can get some idea of the design and the style that you require and the wording to be inscribed on the memorial. Cemeteries are made up of different sections and this being the case you might find some memorials are allowed in one part of the cemetery and not in another part. Whilst we are on the subject of different sections, if you happen to see a memorial that you like the look of make a note of the section its in and its number, which might be on the rear face of the memorial. If there is no number on the memorial look at the memorial next to the one you like and make a note of that number and on what side of that memorial is the memorial that you like. Make a descriptive note of the memorial that you like(or take a picture), relating to the colour and shape of the stone and the design on it. This is for you to give to the Funeral Directors/Stone Mason of your choice and it will enable a positive identification to be made if they haven't got the design you want in their brochures. Ceramic pictures of a loved one included in the design of a memorial are fairly popular and for this you need to take a clear picture that you like with you when you go to order the memorial. You will get the picture back eventually as it is copied and not actually used in the process of making the ceramic picture. Inscriptions on the memorial can be whatever you like bearing in mind the cost can increase with the amount of letters, also if there are to be any more Interments (Burials), space allowing, in the grave, you will need space on the memorial for the further Inscriptions. Don't forget if you or your family own an old grave with space(s) you could have the burial in that grave and have the inscription added onto the original gravestone, space allowing. You can also have old gravestones refurbished (cleaned and re-lettered), this can prove to be expensive depending on the state of the grave stone and its lettering, so in some cases it can be cheaper to buy a new stone with some of the lettering included in the price. So to break down the choosing of a memorial |
