Stonemasons, Memorials and Grave Tending
Ways to Provide a Lasting Memorial to Your Loved One
A memorial is a lasting commemoration of a person’s life. It can play an important part in the mourning process by providing a focal point for the bereaved.
Depending on your wishes, or those of your loved one, a memorial can be anything from a traditional, inscribed, upright stone to a garden bench or a tree planted in their name.
Visiting a grave or memorial in the months and years following a bereavement is, for many, an important part of the grieving process, and can help people to feel close to their loved one.
Laying fresh flowers and keeping the grave neat and tidy can be a way of showing how much they continue to love and remember their special person. Family or friends may tend the grave, or, if distance or other circumstances make this difficult, they may enlist the help of a professional grave tender.
