Here at Cope Memorials, we know just how individual and personal memorials can be. When you lose someone, it can be comforting to some to celebrate their life with a memorial. Due to a wide range available in today’s society, we’ve created a guide where we go through some of the most favoured.
Cremation memorials
Cremation urns are a popular memorial for most. Urns are decorative containers used to store your loved ones ashes. Usually in the shape of a vase, urns can be made from an array of different materials, such as wood, ceramic, stone, glass etc. They are usually kept at home, where they can later be scattered or buried if you choose to do so.
Memorial Plaques
Memorial plaques provide a long-lasting memory of your loved one. The plaque can be placed as a standalone piece, or it can accompany another memorial such as a tree or bench. Typically made out of metal or stone, they feature inscriptions which have the person’s name, birth date and death date, but it can be completely personalised by you.

Headstone Memorials
Also known as a gravestone, a headstone is another long-term memorial that is placed over the grave to commemorate them. It also features inscriptions, with headstones being favoured if you’re wanting long transcripts, as there is more space than a memorial plaque. At Cope Memorials, we can also engrave detailed designs and images of your choice, just take a look at our current collection of headstone memorials. It’s important to mention that there is typically a gap in-between the burial and the placing of a headstone (6-12 months) as the soil needs to settle beforehand.
