Cemetery memorials
If you would like to purchase a memorial or grave stone to be place in one of our cemeteries, you will need to contact a licensed memorial mason.
Memorial Masons are required to be licensed with either the British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons or the National Association of Memorial Masons.
Each of our cemeteries have different memorial sizes that are permitted. A Memorial Mason will be able to guide you through the different designs and options available.
Cremated remains (also called "ashes") can be buried in some of our cemeteries in memorials called Cemetery Sanctums.
If you would like to purchase a Cemetery Sanctum you will need to contact our Memorial Advisors on 0121 569 6791 or 0121 569 6793.
