I N TR OD UCT I O N
A memorial is a lasting symbol of remembrance, a tribute to a
life now ended, perhaps a final gift to someone dearly loved. It is
therefore extremely important that its design should be carefully
chosen.

all of the traditionally used materials. Included in these are the
finest of Italian marbles, coloured granites from all corners of the
world and natural stone such as Nebresina, Sandstone and Bren-
na which all originate from the British Isles.
If you are unable to find a suitable memorial within this brochure,
our knowledgeable staff will be pleased to talk you through
suggestions and prepare a unique memorial to suit your personal
requirements.

very hard and durable and therefore not affected by
weathering and is easy to maintain. The slightly soft-
er marble, Nebresina and Sandstone however, lends
itself to more intricate designs and allows delicate
carvings and details.
Important information regarding estimated manufacturing & delivery times
• Orders for standard brochure designs will take approximately 12-16 weeks to manufacture AND deliver
from the date we receive your signed order and deposit.
• If your order is for a non-standard memorial, it is quite likely that the manufacturing and delivery time
will be greater than the above estimated time.

Memorial Insurance
MEMOR I A L I N S UR A N CE
Of course you will care for the grave of a loved one. But who will
safeguard the memorial and repair or replace it should damage
occur over the years?
Subsidence and accidental damage are very common issues.
StoneGuard® can ensure damage, from minor repairs to total
replacement is rectified very quickly from as little as £5.60 a year.
The StoneGuard® Memorial Stone Insurance is an “All Risks”
policy. Typically, claims we receive are as a result of damage from
lawn mowers, falling trees and subsidence, or from preventative
measures taken by local councils when they feel a memorial stone
may be unsafe.
What’s not covered?
There are some exclusions which apply to this policy, including
depreciation, wear and tear and damage caused over time by sun-
light and weather. Cleaning, repair and restoration - other than
that following insured damage - is also excluded.
