Adding a New Inscription: What to Expect

Adding a New Inscription: What to Expect

Adding a name to a family memorial is a meaningful moment. Here's what to expect so the process feels simple and calm.

1. Photographs and details

Send us a photo of the memorial and the wording you'd like. We use this to match the existing lettering style, size and spacing.

2. Permission from the cemetery

Most cemeteries and churchyards require permission before an inscription is added. We'll explain what's needed and help with the paperwork.

3. Layout approval

We prepare a layout so you can see exactly how the new inscription will look before any work begins.

4. Carving and finishing

Inscriptions are sandblasted or hand-cut, then finished to match — including painting or gold leaf. Pricing is on application, as every memorial is different.
