Before choosing a headstone for a family member or friend, we would always make certain recommendations.
Firstly, we would always suggest that you visit local burial grounds to see other graves for ideas. As every person is different, there is a large variety of shapes and styles to choose from that would be appropriate for an individual or family. Always bear in mind that you will be choosing not just a headstone, but a kerb and also the adornments such as chippings, artificial grass, etc.
Secondly, bring a digital camera. A picture is like a thousand words. When you see what you like, take a photo and when you show it to us, we’ll be able to give you a better idea of the cost and time scale that would be involved. You can upload your photos when you make an enquiry. Click here
Thirdly, you should know your budget. There is literally no limit to what one could spend on a grave.
Finally, think ahead. Some people like to have a headstone erected or an inscription in place prior to a first anniversary. As many headstones are imported from abroad and take months before they are ready for erection, it is always best to allow plenty of time for the preparation work to be done.
At Smyths Funeral Services we are delighted to offer a quotation without obligation to anyone for any grave work that is required.
