Children’s Memorials

Types of Children’s Memorials

Headstones

Appleby & Childs create beautifully designed children’s headstones, often incorporating soft, comforting shapes like hearts, teddy bears, angels, or other child-friendly motifs.

Plaques and Tablets

Smaller plaques and memorial tablets are available for cremation or as additional tributes in gardens of remembrance. These are customisable with special inscriptions and designs to capture the child’s memory.

Kerbed Memorials

Full-length kerbed memorials can be used to enclose the burial site, offering more space for personalisation. These can be decorated with engravings, carvings, or even miniature sculptures.

Personalised Engravings

The team at Appleby & Childs work closely with families to add custom designs, including names, dates, short verses, or symbols like stars or butterflies, to make the memorial truly unique.

Colour Options

While traditional gravestones are often darker, children’s memorials can be crafted from lighter stones or use colourful elements like inlaid designs or painted engravings, bringing a sense of warmth and remembrance.
