At first sight, choosing a Memorial can be quite overwhelming. This is where we are able bring our 50 years of experience to help you make exactly the right choice.
Whether you choose Marble or Granite, we will take you through the extensive range of designs available, whether you want a Lawn Memorial, consisting of a headstone and plinth, or the more Traditional Memorial with Kerbed Headstones.
The design you choose should mirror your Loved One’s personal tastes and represent the way they lived
Start with the Words…
What you want to say about your Loved One is a very personal thing. But the choice of words will lead you to the style and size of headstone needed to accommodate them – as each letter counts.
Upright Headstones
Nowadays, the most common choice is the Upright Headstone, made from Marble or Granite and are fixed in place with a concrete base. White Marble, however is not allowed in churchyards.
Kerbed Headstones
Kerbed Headstones are full length, with the kerbed area lying flat on the ground, surrounding the plot. Inscriptions can also be added to the kerbs.
Flat Headstones are usually made from Granite and can either be flush with the ground or slanted from the rear. They are available in a range of colours and finishes.
Cremation Memorials
At Kennedy Memorials we also offer a range of Cremation Memorials, which are similar to Upright Headstones but can incorporate an area for the cremated remains.
Headstone Materials
Granite is the most versatile choice, as it is available in a wide choice of colours and finishes. It is also the most durable and cost-effective option.
Headstone Finishes
Choosing the finish of your headstone is as important as choosing the material and at Kennedy Memorials we will show you the full range of options, from Polished to Honed.
