Regulations

There are various rules and regulations governing churchyards and cemeteries, which restrict certain types and dimensions at particular cemeteries. We will be able to advise you on this, or you can speak to your vicar or cemetery attendant for their advice, as they have the final say.

Our service includes the completion of any Church or Cemetery applications if necessary and fees which have to be completed and paid for in advance on your behalf.

As a professional company, we are members of NAMM (The National Association Of Memorial Masons) They are an organization dedicated to furthering the memorial mason industry and safeguarding the interests of the bereaved through the promotion of high standards, wide choice and increased understanding in all matters relating to natural stone memorials.
