I have seen a memorial elsewhere can you help?

How will I know what my lettering will look like on the memorial?
Don’t worry we will supply you a proof layout of your supplied inscription and no work would commence on the memorial until approved by yourselves.
Can you do etchings or special designs?
We can supply a range of sandblasted designs, shaded or monotone also lasered or hand etched designs from your supplied pictures.
How soon can I have my memorial installed?
This all depends on the type of memorial you purchased and the regulations of the cemetery / churchyard, as a general rule of thumb.
