Choosing a Memorial and facts you should consider
Before ordering a memorial you should take time to evaluate all the options available and eventually the inspiration in finalising your chosen memorial.
Often it can involve several members of a family, some or all of whom may have differing views on the memorial itself, the content of the inscription and possibly the price. It is important therefore to buy from a company where your needs will be fully understood and your inspirations realised.
Some points you should consider before finally choosing a memorial are:
Future additional inscriptions that might be added at a future date. This can also be a relative buried or whose ashes are scattered elsewhere.
Sometimes where the deceased is of a young age and any future additional inscription would not be for many years a memorial purely dedicated to accommodate the one internment is chosen with the view that when faced with dealing with an additional internment a new memorial is chosen to meet the requirements of the family which might not be the same as when the memorial was first erected.
Memorials can be bespoke and personalised incorporating unique features
Having chosen a memorial and close to finalising your inscription Yorkshire Memorials can supply a picture of your choice of memorial with your inscription superimposed to scale to assist in finalising your inscription.
Inscription can be modified up to the point of your lettering being inscribed on your memorial.
Material choice may be dictated by the burial authority. However for durability and the ability to engrave detailed designs and variety of colours to choose from Granite is recommended.
Completion Time scale from receipt of permit from burial authority.
