From your first enquiry to the next steps

Discuss the memorial

Send the cemetery and town, a photograph if available, and any known plot reference. Tell us about the burial and the arrangements you need.

Agree the removal

We confirm the proposed work and price, review access and permissions, and arrange a suitable date with you.

Plan what happens next

Choose removal only, or removal with 12 months’ storage. Any longer storage, transport or re-fixing arrangements must be discussed and agreed separately.

Questions about removal

Do we need permission?

The grave owner’s authority and any permission required by the cemetery or churchyard must be confirmed before work begins. We discuss the requirements with you.

Can the headstone be put back later?

Returning and re-fixing may be possible, depending on its condition, the ground and the burial ground’s rules. This is discussed and quoted separately unless your quote explicitly includes it.

What happens after 12 months of storage?

Please contact us to agree the next steps before the storage period ends. Any extension or return arrangements need a separate agreement; there is no assumed extension or automatic re-fixing.

Is there a fixed online price?

Each removal is quoted individually because memorial size, access, condition and cemetery requirements vary.
