​

                                                         Memorial Repairs and Grave vases

​

If it becomes apparent that the memorial or kerb edging  requires some repairs and/or additional maintenance, we  will provide you with detailed photographs and a written  report. We can also provide you with a ‘no obligation’  quotation on any work that needs completing at  subsequent visits, including the replacement of old or ‘lost’ grave vases, the renewal of stone/pebble/slate chippings, or any turfing or top soil work.

A specialist monumental mason would carry out any repairs that may be necessary to the memorial or the inscription.
