Frequently Asked Questions About Memorials

When it comes to choosing a memorial for a loved one, many questions can arise. Here at Stewarton Memorials, we specialise in creating handcrafted funeral memorials tailored to your needs.

 

Below, we’ve answered some common queries to guide you through this important decision.


What Are the Differences Between Traditional and Modern Memorials?


Traditional memorials often feature classic designs such as polished granite headstones, engraved inscriptions, and motifs like flowers or religious symbols. These are timeless options that reflect long-standing customs.

 

Modern memorials, on the other hand, embrace contemporary styles, including sleek shapes, minimalist designs, and innovative materials like glass or steel. They may also incorporate personalised elements such as photographs or unique carvings, offering a way to celebrate individuality.

 

At Stewarton Memorials, we craft both traditional and modern memorials, ensuring each piece reflects your loved one’s personality and honours their memory.


How Long Does It Take to Create a Memorial?


The time required to create a memorial varies depending on the design, materials, and level of customisation. Standard memorials may take a few weeks, while highly bespoke designs can take several months.

 

We can work closely with families to ensure every detail is perfect. We’ll provide a clear timeline at the start of the process and keep you informed every step of the way.


Can a Memorial Be Personalised?


Absolutely. Personalisation is at the heart of what we do at Stewarton Memorials. From engraved messages and decorative motifs to custom shapes and finishes, we offer a range of options to make each memorial unique.

 

Whether you’re interested in a traditional inscription or a modern design with a personal touch, we’ll work with you to bring your vision to life.


What Materials Are Commonly Used for Funeral Memorials?


Granite is the most popular material for funeral memorials due to its durability, low maintenance, and availability in various colours. Marble is another elegant choice, though it may require more upkeep. For modern memorials, materials like stainless steel and glass can be incorporated.

 

At Stewarton Memorials, we source high-quality materials to ensure your memorial stands the test of time, regardless of the style you choose.


Do Memorials Require Maintenance?


Yes, memorials may require some maintenance to preserve their appearance. Regular cleaning is recommended, especially for outdoor memorials exposed to weathering. Granite memorials are particularly low-maintenance, but materials like marble may need occasional professional care.

 

Stewarton Memorials can advise on the best ways to maintain your memorial and offer restoration services if needed.
