Our dedicated and caring staff can make memorial arrangements as part of our funeral planning process. Moreover, we can also offer headstones and memorial plaques as a stand-alone service. So, speak to our staff for more information and discuss the options available for remembering your loved one.
A memorial is a physical structure that can serve as a reminder of an event as well as a person. In the event of a death, it also provides a place to lay flowers, pray, or pay your respects in person. Memorials are not limited to cemetery headstones. So, whether you are arranging a religious burial, cremation, or another type of funeral, such as green burials, we can help you make memorial arrangements.
Our approved local stonemason works with a number of quality materials, thus crafting traditional and ornate memorials of all shapes and sizes. Park Funeral Directors can provide a range of options depending on your budget. Moreover, we will personally deliver your exact specifications to our stonemason, who will produce you a top-quality piece.
The most widely recognised form of memorial, headstones come in many different materials including granite, sandstone, and slate as well as marble. Headstones are usually marked with inscriptions including names, dates or messages of love.

However, it may be necessary to seek permission from landowners or local authorities to place a plaque in some locations. Park Funeral Directors can help you make arrangements to order plaques in a multitude of styles, colours and designs.
