New Memorials & Grave Masonary
English Rose Memorials provides a complete service for new memorials. Once you have selected a stone, the design and an inscription, and we will sort out everything else, including the paperwork. Our experienced staff will always be on hand to provide advice and guidance throughout the process.
We understand that this can be a difficult decision, and may be this first time you have been involved in selecting a memorial for a loved one. We will be happy to assist you in anyway we can to make the process as smooth and fast as possible.

Grave Cleaning & Restoration
We have renovated thousands of memorials over the past 37 years, and the results achievable on even badly weathered stones can be astonishing. One family believed we had swapped their stone for a brand new one as it was so clean!
Here are two examples of granite and marble grave restorations carried out by our masons.
| Before: Dull & missing lettering | After: Re-leafed lettering & new inscription |

| Before: Dirtied, unsettled stones | After: New plinths & fully cleaned |

Unfortunately not all memorials can be restored to a mint condition. If after viewing the stone we found it to be uneconomical to repair, we will advise accordingly at no cost to you.
Should this be the case we will be able to offer guidance on a replacement with either an identical monument or a something new of your choosing.
We can guide and advise you on all aspects of memorials — please remember that advice is free and mistakes are expensive, so if you have questions, please ask.
Adding Additional Inscriptions
The craftsmen at English Rose Memorials are familiar with all types of lettering fonts and production methods. This enables us to match the lettering style of any original memorial, regardless of where or when it was originally purchased.
The size and style of lettering used on an additional inscription is dictated by the original lettering and we will ensure that the relevant methods and formats are used to produce a exact match whether they were hand cut, machine cut, chiselled or blasted. We will be able to replicate the lettering perfectly.
Grave Maintenance
Sometimes due to leaving the area or for other reasons it is not easy to maintain a grave or memorial as you perhaps may wish to. If that is the case, please contact us and we will view the grave and provide a quote for the services which would need to be carried out.
In all cases you are under no obligation to accept our quotation.
