Safe guarding your memorial for the years to come
Many people choose to purchase a memorial for a loved one to provide a special place for family and friends to visit, lay flowers and spend time remembering. Whilst it is impossible to prevent any damage happening to a memorial stone, it is important to safeguard the memorial to ensure it can be repaired or replaced if any damage should occur. We work with StoneGuard® Insurance so that this is the case.
Common damage to memorials
Subsidence, theft, accidental damage, damage from falling trees, vandalism, storm damage, graffiti and impact damage are the typical forms of damage that memorial insurance can safeguard from happening.
Subsidence and accidental damage, in particular, are very common issues. StoneGuard® headstone and gravestone insurance can ensure damage, from minor repairs to total replacement, is rectified very quickly from as little as £6.20 a year.
