FAQ

How much are cemetery headstones?

Not all memorials are the same, the cost is determined by material chosen, design, finish and lettering style and content. As a manufacturer we can offer memorials to meet all tastes and requirements, like for like we are very competitive. We will not however get into a price war as we are not prepared to manufacture a memorial to a price at the expense of quality. Please contact us on 0121 444 1840 and we will be more than happy to provide an accurate quotation.

How long do Headstones for graves take to make?

All memorials must be submitted to the relevant authority for approval. This can be as quick as by return of post or in some instances several weeks. Being a manufacturer with a large stock of raw materials we are in a position to be able to supply memorials far quicker than our competitors who are generally factors for outside companies.

How do you efficiently clean a memorial headstone?

The cleaning of memorials should be determined by the material it is made from. Marble and the softer stones should be cleaned by machining down to a new level off stone, which along with cleaning the material would also deal the pores and in doing so retard deterioration. The common use of excessive aside or cleaning substances actually destroys the stone. All repairing or re-fixing work we carry out to the National Association of Memorial Masons code of working practice.

How are cemetery monuments made?

Firstly, we obtain the material from quarries or mills around the world. When choosing Harry L Marks you can be assured that your memorial will be supplied by out own craftsmen with many years of experience. 

We have our own 4 metre saw which can cut the raw slabs up to a thickness of 200mm. It can then be shaped and polished on our Jinny Lind. Once prepared it will go into one of our lettering shops for hand carving of the inscription, alternatively it could be inscribed on our state of the art computer assisted lettering machine. Any ornament would generally be hand etched onto the memorial at this time. After lettering the memorial would be prepared for installation in the cemetery.
