Adding New Lettering With Care

Shaping the letters

Marked outlines guide the placement and spacing.

Finishing by hand

Each letter is cut and finished by hand to match.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

That's the aim. We compare letter shape, size, spacing, depth and finish before recommending a method. A clear front-on photograph helps us make the first assessment.

Cemeteries and churchyards usually have their own rules. We check the likely route and explain what's needed — the registered grave owner may still need to authorise the application.

Usually not. We can start with photographs and location details, and we'll confirm if we need anything else.

Send the photograph and location anyway. Nothing is treated as final until the wording and layout have been checked with you.

Every inscription is priced on application. We look at the memorial, talk through what you'd like, then send a detailed written quote before you decide.
