Special Memorials

We all want our loved ones memorial to be special and here at Appleby & Childs, combined with our unparalleled experience and commitment to high standards, they are. Sometimes the need arises for bespoke and highly personalised tributes. These are designed to honour the memory of loved ones in a truly unique and meaningful way. Our Special Memorials go beyond traditional headstones, allowing families to create one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect the individuality and life of the deceased.

With our commitment to creating memorials that stand as lasting, personal tributes, Appleby & Childs help families design meaningful and special memorials that reflect the life and legacy of their loved ones.

Types of Special Memorials

Bespoke Headstones:

Design: Appleby & Childs work closely with families to create custom-designed headstones that incorporate unique shapes, symbols, and designs. These can range from intricate carvings, sculptures, or artistic engravings that reflect personal interests, hobbies, or religious beliefs.
Materials: The bespoke headstones can be crafted from a variety of materials, including granite, marble, limestone, and other natural stones, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.

Memorial Sculptures:

Design: For a more artistic tribute, memorial sculptures can be crafted to stand as independent works of art. These sculptures might represent angels, religious figures, or objects of personal significance to the family.
Customisation: Sculptures can be personalised with inscriptions or integrated with other elements, such as plaques or engraved stones.

Unique Cremation Memorials:

Design: Appleby & Childs offer special memorials for cremation, which can include creatively designed urns, plaques, or garden memorials. These are tailored to suit family preferences, providing a unique way to remember loved ones in a cremation setting.
Materials & Styles: These can be crafted from stone, metal, or wood, and may incorporate engraving, decorative elements, or personal symbolism.

Garden Memorials:

Design: Special garden memorials provide a peaceful and natural way to remember a loved one. These may include custom-designed benches, plaques, or stones placed in a garden or remembrance area. They offer a serene and tranquil setting for reflection.
