Cleveland Monumental

Throughout time, it has been a custom of all cultures to honour the memory of loved ones by erecting a lasting form of memorial. A memorial is a traditional way of paying tribute to a relative or friend who has passed away, and it serves as a permanent symbol of remembrance. Therefore, it is essential that its design and material are carefully chosen.

The Cleveland Monumental Company has been producing memorials for 25 years and is recognised by many as leaders in both quality and monumental craftsmanship. Our designs, in both granite and marble, are from the largest and most comprehensive range of distinctive memorials that you will find anywhere. We only use the finest materials, and memorials are produced using modern production methods on highly sophisticated machinery. Our experienced monumental masons, with their traditional skills and craftsmanship, result in a collection of pleasing and creative designs at competitive prices.

Our Services

At Cleveland Monumental Co, we offer a wide range of services, including:

• New Memorials: Our craftsmen use only the most desirable materials such as Indian or South African granite or Italian Marble in a range of sizes, shapes and colours.
• Added Inscriptions: We can match almost any existing inscription.
• Renovations: Our experienced craftsmen will visit any existing memorial and advise on cleaning, restorative work, new inscription and costings.
• Memorial Design: We can produce a highly individual memorial for your loved one. In addition to the many standard designs, we can produce designs from photographs, designs and drawings that you may wish to provide. These designs may be in full colour or traditional gold, where only the finest 23.5 carat gold leaf is used.
• Memorial Insurance: We provide a very cost-effective insurance for all memorials. Full details and costings are available on request.
• Plaques & Vases: We offer a range of plaques, vases and other smaller memorials, including pet memorials.

Things to Consider

Erecting a memorial requires careful consideration, including:

• A period of time must elapse after an internment has taken place before a memorial can be erected. This allows the ground to settle before it can take the weight of a memorial.
• Each cemetery authority has certain rules that must be followed before a memorial can be erected, such as the type of material used. We can advise on these rules and restrictions.
• Personal choice often dictates which material is eventually selected. Natural stone, such as granite, slate, sandstone, limestone or marble, each has a unique character and is suitable for different types of memorials.
• Deciding what to say on a memorial is perhaps the most personal and sometimes difficult aspect of the whole process. It cannot be rushed, and we are here to help and advise.
• Memorial costs depend on the choice of material, size of memorial, ornamentation, inscription and the fees charged by either the Church or local authority.

At Cleveland Monumental Co, we are committed to providing a high-quality service, and we are here to help and advise you every step of the way. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
