FAQs in Langford
What is a kerbed memorial, and how is it different from a traditional headstone?
A kerbed memorial is a full-length grave monument that includes a raised border (or “kerb”) surrounding the grave, often filled with decorative chippings, a stone slab, or soil for planting flowers. Unlike a traditional headstone, which only marks the head of the grave, a kerbed memorial covers the entire burial plot, offering more space for personalisation and additional inscriptions.
What materials are used for kerbed memorials in Langford?
Kerbed memorials are typically made from durable materials that can withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining their aesthetic appeal. The most common materials used include granite, marble, limestone, and sandstone.
Can you leave the centre of kerbing empty for us to fill it?
Yes, we can leave this area empty if you would like to buy your own chippings or fill the kerbs with dirt and plants.
Are there any cemetery restrictions on kerbed memorials?
Yes, some cemeteries have specific regulations regarding kerbed memorials, as they take up more space than traditional headstones. Many churchyards, in particular, may not permit them, while municipal cemeteries often allow them in designated areas.
