Natural materials can be cut into various shapes and sizes and not just the conventional headstone types. Many local authorities have now relaxed the rules over memorial shapes they don’t have to be traditional in style and it is not uncommon to see them in the shape of cars, motorbikes or flowers for example.

In addition to memorial shape, there is also far greater scope now for inscriptions and images. Advances in laser etching and sandblasting have allowed for a much greater range of images, from the traditional angels and religious figures to football club crests. Moving on from the traditional techniques, mosaic images made from glass and ceramic are another way to add colour and uniqueness to a headstone.

Bespoke memorials for children and babies are common, with local authorities often offering more flexibility when it comes to size and shape compared to adult headstones.
