Monumental Masonry

At the time of burial it is usual to mark the grave with a cross or grave marker.

You may wish to mark the grave with a memorial stone. We work closely with an excellent stonemason offering a variety of memorial options and are able to use any ideas you have in creating the perfect memorial. Please ask us for more information.

If following a cremation the cremated remains are to be interred in a cemetery it may be possible to mark the grave with Memorial Masonry. We would be happy to assist you with this also.

Stationary for Condolences

The day of a funeral can easily be overshadowed by emotion and grief.

With a lot of people to see and talk to, some whom you may not have seen for years, it is helpful to have a lasting memory for you and other mourners to take away as a source of comfort. Orders of Service and simple In Memoriam cards not only help guide people through the funeral service, but also act as something to send to family and friends who may have been unable to attend the funeral.

Together with our excellent printer, we are able to arrange the professional printing of the following items of stationary:

  • Order of Service Sheets
  • Mass & Prayer Cards
  • Pew/Attendance Cards
  • Keepsake Bookmarks
  • In Memoriam Cards
  • Thank you and Notification Cards
