What are the different sorts of memorials ?
• Full Memorial. A headstone with kerbstones, or just kerbstones, that surround the whole grave space, sometimes with granite or glass chippings in the centre or, completely covered over by a stone slab. • Lawn Memorials. A headstone set on a small base and situated at the head of the grave. The remaining space is left to grass. This is a popular form of memorial with many burial grounds as it allows for easier maintenance of the grass areas between memorials. • Monolith Memorials. An older form of memorial with the stone situated at the head of the grave and protrudes directly from the ground. • Cremation Plaques. These can take the form of flat or sloping plaqes to go over the interred ashes, or small plaques that are placed directly onto the wall in the garden of remembrance.
