Adding to an Existing Memorial

When a second person is laid to rest beside a loved one, adding a new inscription to an existing memorial is a natural and meaningful step. It can feel daunting to know where to begin — but our skilled letter cutters are here to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

Older memorials were typically inscribed by hand, while more modern ones use computer-cut lettering. We always aim to match the original style and font as closely as possible, so the addition sits sympathetically alongside the existing text.

We can also advise on re-gilding or repainting the lettering at the same time, refreshing both the new and existing inscription so the whole memorial looks consistent and well-maintained.
