Choosing a new headstone
We supply a wide selection of headstones, kerbsets and lawn memorials, chosen to suit the regulations of your cemetery and usually better priced than a local stonemason.
Caring for the stone you have

Our services in Horsham
01Memorial cleaning in Horsham
Damp Wealden air and mature tree cover across the Horsham district often leave headstones vulnerable to moss, algae, and stubborn lichen over time. We provide gentle, specialist memorial cleaning using non-abrasive techniques tailored to traditional stone, granite, and marble. By carefully removing biological growth and ingrained grime, we help honour your loved one’s memory while protecting the delicate surface beneath from long-term weathering.
02Re-lettering in Horsham
Over the decades, driving rain sweeping across Horsham's open market town landscapes can soften sharp incisions and fade delicate paintwork. Our careful re-lettering service revives obscured names, dates, and epitaphs with precision and patience. Using durable, weather-resistant enamels matched to the original typeface, we sensitively restore the clarity of every inscription, ensuring family tributes remain legible and dignified for future generations.
03Re-gilding in Horsham
As the seasons turn across the River Arun valley, headstone lettering in Horsham can lose its vibrant lustre under the elements. Our regilding craft uses premium, hand-applied gold leaf to reinstate the deep warmth and brilliance of original inscriptions. Working meticulously with high-grade leaf, we bring renewed radiance to your family memorial, allowing words of remembrance to catch the Sussex light beautifully once again.
04Headstone removal in Horsham
Following a burial in Horsham, families often require temporary headstone removal so ground can settle before new inscriptions are added. We offer considerate, secure memorial removal, including up to twelve months of safe storage in our dedicated facility. Handled with professional care and reverence, your stone is kept protected from the rural Wealden elements until you are ready for its thoughtful re-installation.

Questions from Horsham families
Do I need to visit the grave in Horsham when care is carried out?
If attending is difficult, speak to Sussex Grave Care about arranging care without being there. Ask for before-and-after photographs so you can see the work remotely, and discuss any particular concerns or family wishes before work on the grave begins.
How long should we allow for cleaning a headstone in Horsham?
Cleaning time depends on the headstone’s material, condition and the amount of growth or staining present. There is no single timescale suitable for every grave. Sussex Grave Care can discuss the work needed and provide an estimated timeframe once the condition has been assessed.
Can faded lettering on our family memorial in Horsham be restored?
Faded lettering may be suitable for restoration, but the options depend on the inscription, its original finish and the condition of the stone. Ask Sussex Grave Care to assess it before deciding on treatment. Any proposed work should also take account of the relevant burial ground’s rules.
Who should we contact about a leaning gravestone in Horsham?
Contact Sussex Grave Care on 01273 950 717 to discuss the leaning stone and request a free quote. Re-levelling needs an assessment of the memorial and its foundations, rather than a cosmetic fix. Avoid trying to straighten it yourself; any necessary permissions should be checked before work proceeds.
