Your comments

It is very important to us that we provide the very best service possible for our clients, so following the funeral please feel free to let us know your views, good or bad; we really do value your opinion.

Acknowledgement Notices

An acknowledgement notice can be placed in the Bournemouth Daily Echo (or other paper/s of your choice) to thank the mourners for sending flowers, donations and sympathy cards and it is also an opportunity to thank the people who helped you most before and after the funeral, for example, doctors, nurses, minister, family, friends and neighbours. We will be happy to assist in creating and placing the acknowledgement notice for you.

Memorial Bench

We can supply beautiful wooden benches for your garden with an engraved message added to it.

Temporary Grave Markers

If required, we can place a temporary six month grave marker on the grave for use until the memorial is fixed.

Memorial Masonry

We can provide memorials for our local cemeteries and churchyards and we would be happy to advise you on local restrictions and regulations. You can choose the memorial from our brochure or we would be happy to prepare an estimate for one that you may have seen at the cemetery.

You would need to consider:

  • Shape and style of memorial
  • Colour and type of material
  • Colour and type of lettering
  • Wording
  • How many further inscriptions would be required?
  • If a design or stencil is required
  • If a flower vase is required, if so how many?

We suggest allowing six months to elapse from the date of the funeral until the memorial is placed. Please be aware, that the memorial can take around 3 months from the date of order to completion.

Please note you can choose your memorial from this website Click here to see the memorials page for further information.
