You will need to consider:

• Shape and style of memorial
• Colour and type of stone
• Colour and type of lettering
• Wording (see samples below)
• 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 advise 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. If required, we would be very happy to supply a temporary grave marker vase until the memorial is fixed.

The costs....

Each cemetery and churchyard have different scales of charges for their permission to place the memorial, we will advise you about these fees. When choosing a memorial you will need to consider the following costs:

• Cost of the memorial
• Cost of the lettering (charged per letter)
• Cost of any ornament, photo, stencil, plaque or vases (if required)
• Cost to supply the foundation and fix the memorial
• Cost of the cemetery or churchyards permit fee to allow us to place the memorial

Please note: George Scott funeral services do not charge V.A.T. on the above costs. Neil Scott, great-grandson of the founder George Scott, continues the family tradition of service. Our qualified and well experienced staff will give sympathetic and professional attention, to guide bereaved families through the many choices that are available.
