How do you mark the loss of a loved one?

It is always difficult to memorialise a life lived, whether long or short, full of achievements or a life less ordinary. The connections and relationships that have been and the memories that we have will always endure. Creating a fitting tribute that will last a lifetime can seem like a daunting task. A headstone is a lasting monument and a tribute to a person’s life, perhaps a final gift to someone dearly loved, so it is important to choose it carefully.

Our Partner

Through our relationship with A K Lander Memorials, based in Basildon, we are able to offer a wide range of masonry services to our clients.  From a simple clean to designing the memorial of your choice, our expert masonry consultant Tim Barker, will be able to guide you through all the necessary decisions.  To speak to Tim directly, please call 01702 558717 or email [email protected].

 

Cemeteries

All the cemeteries allow a vast range of materials and individual interpretation to be used in the creation of memorials. Although the size of the memorial may vary slightly from cemetery to cemetery the design is very much left to the individual client. Many forms of artwork, wording and the use of photo plaques are allowed to truly personalise the memorial.
