Your guide to selecting a headstone for your loved one
Losing a loved one is undoubtedly one of life's most challenging moments. At Robinson Memorials, we understand the importance of creating a lasting tribute that reflects those we hold dear. When you reach out to us, we embark on a journey together to ensure your memorial is a fitting remembrance. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process.
Come and meet the team
A memorial provides a focal point for you, your family, and future generations to visit. Even if you decide to scatter your loved one’s ashes it is still possible to place a memorial, giving the family a place to visit and remember at special times. We encourage you to come and meet the team, for a cup of tea and friendly, caring advice and guidance based on many years of experience to help you work through your options.
Where will the memorial rest?
The first crucial question we ask is about the placement of the memorial. Cemeteries often have specific regulations regarding height, width, and materials. Knowing the location allows us to provide tailored advice, ensuring your memorial complies with local guidelines while preserving its meaningful design.
When do you need the memorial?
Memorials are crafted with precision and care, and timing plays a pivotal role. If you have a specific date in mind, it's essential to plan ahead. We recommend allowing at least four months for the entire process, from selecting the design to completing the memorial. Once the layout is confirmed, we need eight weeks to bring your vision to create the perfect memorial for your loved one.
What is your budget?
Understanding your budget is key to offering sound advice on achievable options. Whether you envision a classic granite design or opt for the elegance of bronze, your budget guides us in suggesting solutions that resonate with your financial plan.
