As a general rule, most memorials fall into three categories:

• Bronze, Brass or Granite plaque  (A cremation memorial or lawn site)
• Sandstone, Granite or Marble headstone  (Usually upright in a lawn section)
• Full monument, usually of natural stone  (Total site covered with a headstone and ledger (slab)).

The style of monument or memorial plaque permitted, and any choices available, should be considered when you are purchasing the Right of Burial to the site.  At the time of selection of the memorial, the cemetery or crematorium staff can advise on the design guidelines for the site.
