General Memorial Information
Cemeteries and churchyards often have rules governing and regulating the kinds of memorials that can be erected, and often also the inscriptions and ornamentation that accompanies the memorials can be subject to review. These regulations can vary from place to place and it is advisable to check. A MEMORIAL GROUP memorial mason will be able to assist.
Cremation sites: Some crematoriums simply have a central memorial universally commemorating all those buried nearby. In others, memorials in the shape of headstones or plaques can be erected on individual plots.
NB: Before a memorial, be it a headstone or a plaque, can be erected in a churchyard or cemetery, written permission has to be obtained from its management. Your MEMORIAL GROUP memorial mason will see to this for you.
Responsibility for Memorials
Responsibility of your memorial is yours and not the cemetery or churchyard management. The maintenance of your memorial. should become dilapidated or unsafe is your responsiblity. PLease remember that if the memorial becomes unsafe then certain steps may be taken to lay it down or remove it.
It is therefore wise to arrange for it to be regularly maintained - and insured. The Memorial Group offers maintenance schemes, that include cleaning and checking.
