Lawn Memorials
These comprise a headstone sitting on a matching base
and were introduced several years ago as a replacement
to kerbed graves. Your relevant church authority will
be able to tell you if kerbs are permitted within that
particular churchyard or cemetery. The base of the memorial
is cemented to a 12" deep concrete foundation,
and the headstone fixed with stainless steel dowels.
This ensures maximium strength and no risk of subsidence.
We offer four different sizes of lawn memorials: Cremation,
Small, Medium
and Large.
Kerbs
At T.E. Cubbon Ltd we use a modular system for kerbs,
so that any of the lawn memorials* illustated
below can be supplied with a set of matching granite
kerbs. The 3" kerbs abut directly against the 4"
or 5" base of the memorials.
* Excludes Cremation Lawn Memorials
The top of the kerbed grave can be planted out by yourself,
or for low maintainence we can supply a concrete top
and decorative chippings which come in a variety of
colours. Both natural stone and glass chippings are
available in the following colours: GREEN, TURQUOISE,
COBALT BLUE, WHITE QUARTZ, GREY GRANITE.
Memorial Books
Memorial Books are available with fully worked pages
and hand worked cord and tassel. They are used as a
lawn memorial in their own right or to provide more
inscription space on a kerbed grave. Standard size is
24" x 18".
Vases*
Vases can be purchased for kerbed graves and come as
standard 7" cubes with an aluminium flower container.
A range of turned granite vases (urns) are available
on request.
*Most church authorities do not allow seperate vases
to be positioned in front of lawn memorials.
Granite Materials
Memorials are available in a wide range of colours.
