We offer advice on choosing a memorial and also a complete memorial ordering service. A memorial is a permanent symbol of remembrance and respect, so it is important that its design and the firm producing it should be carefully chosen. We at Arthur Gresty Funeral Homes take great care in producing the right memorial for your needs.
We use a well established family owned Memorial Mason with a good reputation, who is a member of the National Association of Memorial Masons (NAMM), and who abides by their code of conduct and working practice.
Memorials take many forms, but all must be of strong, durable materials and should be capable of taking a permanent carved inscription (and possible additional ones in later years). Natural materials have proved to be the best, with granite being by far the most durable.
Our memorial advisor, Mrs Catherine Leese, is available for quotations, orders and advice in respect of new memorials, additional inscriptions, repairs, re-fixing and cleaning. We offer a fully itemised quotation and in the case of new memorials and additional inscriptions a full inscription printout service is available. Our advisor is also available for home visits and all you need to do is telephone any of our offices for an appointment.
Please remember, when considering a memorial quotation that the cheapest is not always the best. A more expensive quotation given by a reputable company who have been in business for many years and give excellent after sales service plus a written guarantee from NAMM will always be a much safer and reliable choice than a company offering a cheaper alternative with no proven trading record.
If you are not sure about anything in the quotation you can call our advisor during normal office hours and all will be thoroughly explained.

The time taken to complete the memorial which you have designed will depend on a number of factors.
1.	The availability of the material/colour/shape of stone chosen.
2.	The time taken to get the memorial approved by the cemetery authority or churchyard.
3.	How quickly design and inscription is initially produced and approved for completion
If you would like the memorial completing by a certain date you should tell our advisor and she should be able to advise you if completion is possible within that time span.

Floral Tributes
We can arrange all the floral tribute requirements for a family when arranging a funeral. We use local, family owned florists. David Gresty or one of his funeral staff would be pleased to advise and help arranging the flowers at very competitive prices, but the highest of standards. To people outside the immediate family we are pleased to pass on the details of our florists for a direct personal service with them.

Stationery
We offer full memorial stationery requirements including:-

Personalised laminated memorial cards

Books of attendance at the church, cemetery or crematorium

Thank you/acknowledgement cards

Service Sheets.

	David Gresty can provide a complete professional service for Mass Booklets and Orders of Service. These can include photographs and designs of your choice. A personal service is offered towards producing these as it is imperative that the finished item is right for the funeral. All booklets are produced in house to ensure we get the quality and provide the service at a competitive price for you.
