COMMISSIONING A MEMORIAL This
page will hopefully help to de-mystify the commissioning process. Making contact
A memorial is a lasting symbol of remembrance, and as such it
is important to allow oneself time to consider what would be an appropriate tribute to your loved one before commissioning.
This time will vary between individuals; some clients may have a clear idea after a burial some may take several years.
Arranging a visit When
you feel ready to discuss the memorial, come to the workshop - bringing other members of your family
too. We will talk
over your thoughts and ideas. The
Order Following our meeting I will produce an initial memorial
design sketch which will be sent to you with the estimate
of the costs and a schedule of the time needed to make the memorial. This estimate covers meetings, calls, initial design plus one alteration
and liaison with the burial authority. (It includes the fees payable on your behalf to the burial authority) and for
all materials. Once you have approved the final design I
ask you to sign off the drawing and return it to me. This is what I
will work from. At this point you will be asked for a deposit. Once
the deposit is paid the stone is then ordered from the quarry. Fixing
the memorial The estimate also includes the setting of the memorial stone
at the place of burial. I feel
strongly about fixing my own memorials, taking as much care over this part of the commission as the rest. I
am a BRAMM approved fixer and all my memorials are installed to BS8415 and conform to NAMM Code of Working Practice. Final
settlement of account I will give you a call
once I have set the headstone. The
invoice will be sent out within seven days of this showing the final balance due. |
