We fully understand how difficult this process can be, but don’t worry RAM Memorials are here to help you through every step.
RAM Memorials can talk you through the whole process from start to finish. Just give us a call on 01924 471 490.
We can also deal with the cemeteries rules and regulations on your behalf.
RAM Memorials recommend that we do not erect a Headstone or Memorial until 3 to 6 months after the burial, as this will allow the ground to settle fully, therefore reducing the risk of the memorial leaning.
The 3-6 month rule mentioned above doesn’t necesserily apply to cremation memorials or vases, which can sometimes be fixed as soon as the grave is purchased.
Note: Some burial grounds have a concrete plinth placed at the back of the grave to allow for immediate installation, which we can find out if you wish.
Absolutely! RAM Memorials can quote for any headstone or memorial design in any material from either a photograph, drawing or explanation.

A lot of our clients already have a reserved plot within a grave or cemetery and want their Headstone or Memorial planned and paid for in advance.
Please get in contact with us to discuss this further.
Damage or cracks can happen to a memorial at any time, for a variety of reasons. So, if at any stage, for any reason your headstone or memorial becomes damaged or changed we can help fix and alter it.
Certain churchyards and cemeteries have strict rules and regulations around the types of memorials they allow on a burial plot.
Most will specify that only natural materials such as Marble, Slate, or Yorkshire Stone but the regulations can also include sizes.
We can find out for you if you contact us with the name of the cemetery and we will advise you.
