GUIDANCE
After the funeral
Ashes, memorials, paperwork and support — the things that come afterwards, and the help that is still here when they do.
Our involvement does not end when the cars leave. Ashes are brought back to our premises, and there is no time limit on how long we hold them while you decide what should happen.
We can arrange interment or scattering, a headstone or an added inscription through our own memorial masonry, and keepsakes or memorial jewellery. We will also point you to the practical help — tell-us-once, probate guidance and local bereavement support — and are glad to be telephoned months later with a question.

Memorial Masons Rotherham
Having our own memorial workshop and skilled craftsmen means that memorials can be supplied as per brochure or bespoke to your design and requirements, in a wide range of materials and colours. A brochure is available on request, but if preferred an appointment can be made to visit you at home, or at our offices, where our experienced staff or stone mason will be able to advise you on all aspects. We can also refurbish, repair and add inscriptions to existing memorials. All our work is carried out to the highest standards in line with, the guide lines and Code of Practice of the National Association of Memorial Masons, of which we are accredited members. We are also accredited by the Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley and Sheffield local authorities.
Funeral Memorials
Starting with stone memorials, these are mainly for burial or burial of ashes, but can be used as plaques on walls. In addition to stone memorials, of which granite is the most popular, a large selection of memorials in a wide range of materials are available, all of which we can supply. These range from Hardwood Garden Benches, Reconstituted Bird Baths, Sundials and Garden Ornaments – some of which have a cavity to accept a casket or portion of ashes.
We have designed, created and erected many bespoke memorials, for example community memorials for children and still born babies in local cemeteries (Thurnscoe, Bolton-on-Dearne, Wombwell and Barnsley) a Miners Memorial (Thurnscoe Cemetery). Also, to commemorate the start of the first world war, in July 2014, we erected the Dearne Town War Memorial in the Bolton-on-Dearne Cemetery.
