Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to clean a marble headstone?
The best way to clean a marble headstone is with gentle care to avoid damaging the stone. Rinse the headstone with clean, lukewarm water to remove dirt and debris, then use a soft brush and soapy water to gently scrub the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as these are likely to cause more damage than good!
What can you use to decorate a grave?
Aside from grave ornaments, you can also use different types of decorations to personalise a memorial. Fresh or artificial flowers are a common choice, allowing you to bring colour and beauty to the site. Candles or solar lights can provide a soft, comforting glow. Personal touches like engraved stones, photo plaques, or even wind chimes can also add a special, unique element to the memorial. Each decoration should reflect the memory and personality of the individual, creating a lasting tribute that feels personal and meaningful.
Is there a cheaper alternative to a headstone?
There are several more affordable alternatives to a traditional headstone. Memorial plaques, for example, are small engraved markers that can be placed on a grave or at a memorial site. These are typically less expensive than full headstones. A tree or plant memorial can also be a meaningful and cost-effective choice, with a living tribute that grows over time.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stone. I am so pleased with it, even if its something I never expected to have to buy. I had dreaded the process and it’s taken me six years to do it, thank you so much for all your help and patience. I really appreciate it.
