Memorials
For thousands of years mankind has felt the need to erect a memorial to mark the sense of loss, love and respect felt for a family member or friend. It provides a focal point of affection and remembrance as a celebration of a much cherished individual life. It is a statement of not being forgotten. It can be an expression of undying love and a help in the grieving process through which we are all likely to go at some point in our lives.

Home Memorials
Some people may not want to return to the crematorium but still wish to have a fitting tribute to the memory of their loved one in the familiar surrounds of their own home and often where the memories of that person are felt the strongest.
Many of the below options have variations and can be tailored to personal taste. Moreover, we can supply any of the below products and arrange their fitting to any area of the United Kingdom in private addresses, crematoria, cemeteries or churchyards subject to local restrictions and regulations.
