How to order a headstone
The process of ordering a memorial begins with an informal meeting, usually at my workshop. It is possible to work with you by e-mail and telephone if meeting in person is not possible, and I can also come to you for the initial meeting if necessary.
Sketch for Welsh slate headstoneOnce the design is finalised, I will provide you with a total price for the project and give you a rough guide of the expected timescale.
The local authority or church body responsible for the burial ground has to approve the planned memorial. It will also make a charge for permission to put up the memorial. I will complete an application form for permission to erect the memorial and send it to the relevant authority on your behalf. When the design is approved, I will order the stone from the quarry. It normally takes around six weeks for the stone to arrive at my workshop.
