Temporary grave markers

A temporary stone marker can be fixed on the grave, usually about six weeks after you have paid for it.  If you are thinking of buying a permanent memorial in the near future, however, it is not worth buying a temporary marker.

Although we described these markers as 'temporary', they are actually very durable and will serve to mark the grave for a long time.

Please don’t try to make a cross or any other marker out of wood or concrete as these materials (along with metal, tiles, glass bottles and jars, plastics and wirework of any
kind) are prohibited and would have to be removed.
