Memorials for Cemeteries
Cemeteries are council maintained or privately-ownedand usually allow memorials made from any naturalmaterial. However, memorials must comply with thesizes restrictions laid down by the cemeteryregulations which, in many cases, restrict the use ofcertain types of memorial, in certain sections of thecemetery.
Memorials for Churchyards
Permission for memorials can only be given by theincumbent vicar if they comply with the rules laiddown by the local diocese. Only memorials with anunpolished finish are allowed in churchyards and insome areas, designs are restricted. Suitable materialsinclude medium and light grey granites, Yorkstone andPurbeck. White marble memorials are not generallypermitted but designs in Nebresina, which is buffcoloured, are quite acceptable.
Permit Fees
Permit fees are charged by both cemeteries andchurchyards and these will need to be added to thecost of the memorial.
Stone
You will notice there are many different colours anddesigns in the headstones and memorials; these are allinterchangeable, although some motifs will not showclearly on lighter coloured stones. Granite is very hardand durable and therefore not affected by weatheringand is easy to maintain. The slightly softer marble,Nebresina and Sandstone however, lends itself to moreintricate designs and allows delicate carvings and details.
Important information regarding estimated manufacturing & delivery times
• Orders for standard brochure designs will take approximately 12-16 weeks to manufacture AND deliverfrom the date we receive your signed order and deposit.
• If your order is for a non-standard memorial, it is quite likely that the manufacturing and delivery time willbe greater than the above estimated time.
