Headstones and memorials

We do not provide headstones or memorials, but we may be able to provide advice on choosing one. You should first of all look for a local reputable memorial mason in the area. You can search for local 'memorial masons' using the online Yellow Pages.

For further information on memorial masons, please Contact Bereavement Services and we can provide you with information and advice on ordering a memorial.
