Cremation urn gravestone

A place that stays

Choosing a memorial for a cremation grave is not a simple practical decision. You are looking for something that endures, that reflects who your loved one was, and that gives you a fixed point of remembrance year after year. This granite cremation urn monument is built to be exactly that.

Granite: one of the hardest natural stones available

Granite has been used for memorial monuments for centuries, and the reasons are straightforward. It is exceptionally hard, resistant to frost and rainfall, and holds its structure and color over decades with no particular maintenance. Quarried directly from the earth's crust, granite has a natural crystalline composition that makes every piece subtly distinct. This funeral urn monument is available in several colors, so you can choose what feels right for the person and the place.

What to know before you order

Placing a granite memorial involves several practical steps, and it helps to have a clear picture of what is involved before you begin.

Check with your cemetery first

Before ordering, it is worth speaking with your cemetery manager or local authority to confirm what is and is not permitted at that site. Cemeteries often specify permitted dimensions, materials and forms for memorials, and some require that installation is carried out by a locally approved stonemason. Any concrete base slab and pile foundation beneath the memorial will generally need to be installed by the cemetery itself. If you are considering placing this cremation urn monument in a private garden rather than a cemetery, a plastic urn vault is also available and can be installed without specialist help. Custom dimensions can be arranged if needed.
