Our Work

Additional Inscriptions

Whatever the lettering style or material of the existing memorial, we at Horobins have the in-house skills to replicate almost any inscription.

The normal process involves removing the memorial from the cemetery so that our craftsmen can work on the new inscription in our factory. It is not always possible to remove the memorial due to size, position, or for any one of many reasons and in those circumstances we work on the memorial in-situ.

Renovations

Memorials are made to be long lasting tributes to loved ones. But however over the course of time they can become dirty, lettering can become eroded, or the ground can become uneven. We renovate memorials to look as they did when first erected. We can clearn, re-guild, re-fix or level to BRAMM standards.

All memorial work carried out by us is complies to current BS8415 standards. Having your memorial professionally restored is an alternative to replacing it with a new one and by doing so you will be able to keep the original memorial.

In order to place memorial upon a grave or plot, the "exclusive rights of burial" MUST be purchased. The person who purchases the exclusive rights of burial of grave plot has the right to determine who will be buried therein and to arrange the placing of a memorial. The purchaser is not however buying the actual plot of land.
