Our services

Personal Memorial
A personal Memorial acts as a reminder of someone you have lost and the memories you had shared:
- Memorial jewellery, or cremation jewellery, can be crafted from ashes, a photo, a signature or locket of hair and can include a personal inscription.
- Decorative urns and caskets serve as dignified vessels for ashes. Whether for burial, scattering or keeping, these sacred containers offer a final resting place for your loved one.
- Memorial benches and trees can provide a tribute in your chosen area, as a special place to visit.
- Customised Memorials allow you to create a fully bespoke item that is reflective of you and your loved one.

Arranging a Memorial
Our team of Memorial experts are here to provide advice, support and expertise, so you can find the memorial which is right for you.
We are here to help you through the Memorial process, while keeping you informed at every stage.
We can help obtain permits, permissions, check regulations and manage the requirements for your chosen Memorial.
A traditional headstone, in most parts of the country, can require approximately 6-9 months, to design, create and install. In most situations, we can offer plaques and markers as a temporary tribute until your Memorial is ready.
More modern and personal Memorials can have much shorter time scales, so we recommend getting in touch to discuss your requirements further.
Please call Ginns & Gutteridge Funeral Directors on 0116 490 4942 to speak with the Memorial Specialists for advice and guidance.
