A final resting place in Cambridgeshire
If you are planning for a cremation or burial, it is often best to choose the location first, as there are often rules and regulations on which custom memorials, grave ornaments and traditional headstones cemeteries and crematoriums allow.
Cambridgeshire is often said to follow a slower pace of life, due to its long country walks and selection of quaint villages. If you are searching for a peaceful place full of countryside scenery, then Cambridgeshire could be a perfect option for a final resting place.
It is also important to select a location that is easily accessible for family and friends to visit. Cambridgeshire certainly has plenty of good transport links, either by train or by the M11 leading to London.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many words can I fit on?
This depends greatly on the style of memorial you have chosen. We have a minimum size of lettering which we adhere to but all our designs allow enough room for names, dates and a short verse at the minimum. If you have a lot of text you wish to add to a small/cremation memorial then we would advise you avoid heart-shaped headstones and large sandblasted designs. Adding a freestanding block vase to your memorial can be a handy way of adding more inscription space.
How long will it take?
We currently estimate that orders for our standard designs will take approximately 4-5 months to manufacture & deliver.
This estimate begins from the date we have received both the cemetery or church permit and your second instalment rather than from the date you place your order. The process of obtaining a permit is carried out by us on your behalf and is generally straightforward. If you are having a more unusual style or size of memorial it can take longer to clarify the details with the cemetery and obtain permission which will affect the final delivery/fixing date.
We always endeavour to complete your order as quickly as possible but there are some factors over which have have no control, such as shipping and council response times. This means that some orders will take less than 4 or 5 months but others may take more. We will always keep you informed about the progress of your order.
If your order is for a non-standard memorial, it is very likely that the manufacturing & delivery time will be 4-6 months.
Can I pay by instalments?
Our standard terms for payment are as follows:
First Installment
20% Deposit when memorial ordered as above.
Second Installment
75% of balance plus burial ground fee payable when permit received from cemetery or church authority. Obtaining permit takes on average 2-3 weeks from first installment.
Final Installment
Final balance payable on completion (ie. when memorial is in place, approximately 16 weeks after receipt of second installment).

Good evening. I found Harvey’s headstone on Friday morning. I cried so many tears. But the headstone is absolutely amazing. I’m blown away by the details of the stars. It’s an absolutely outstanding tribute to my beautiful boy.
Well done to those who made it.
Many thanks.
