Helping you to create
a lasting memorial
For centuries people have created memorials to remember
their loved ones.
A memorial provides us with a focus for our personal memories
– a place to visit, lay flowers and reflect on happy times. This
brochure takes you through the different options for burial and
cremation memorials to help you choose the most appropriate
memorial for your loved one.
Our experienced craftsmen design and prepare memorials
ensuring the highest quality in their finished work. The skill of
our stonemasons is not limited to what you see in this brochure.
If there is a memorial that you would like, which isn’t featured
in this brochure, we will be happy to check if our masons can
produce it for you.
You may like to take this brochure away and choose a memorial
with your family and friends. We are available to discuss your
requirements with you and to help you with your decision –
you will find our address and telephone number on the back
of this brochure.
Designs and Inscriptions
If you choose a design for a memorial the size and position
of the design, as well as the size of the memorial will
determine the number of inscriptions that can be engraved.
Our lettercutters will decide upon the best position for a design
and inscription, unless you choose otherwise.

Regulations
There are many regulations governing the type of memorials
that can be erected in a churchyard or cemetery. For example,
in some areas you cannot have kerbing around the grave
space and in churchyards, granite, marble, ‘open books’,
crosses and gilded letters are not usually permitted. The size
of a memorial is generally governed by the appropriate burial
authority. Please allow us to check these regulations for you
before you make your final choice.
Trade Descriptions Act
As the materials are natural stone, the colour can vary slightly
from those shown. Every effort is made to select only the best
materials of monumental quality.
Prices
For prices, please refer to the accompanying price list.
Additional Inscriptions and Memorial Cleaning
At The Co-operative Funeralcare, we can add additional
inscriptions on to existing memorials and we also offer a
cleaning service. Please ask for further information about
these services.
You may also find some of our other brochures useful, including
our floral brochure which features a wide range of high-quality
floral tributes and ‘Your guide to funeral care’, a helpful and
informative guide to arranging a funeral and what to do at the
time of bereavement.
