Additional Grave Inscriptions with Sensitivity and Care
When a grave is reopened for a subsequent burial, it is important that the additional inscription matches the original lettering perfectly. We take precise measurements and replicate existing styles so the memorial remains visually consistent.
We handle additional inscriptions discreetly and efficiently, coordinating with cemeteries and church authorities where required. Families can rely on us to manage the process respectfully, minimising stress during an already difficult time.
Durable Engraving Designed to Last
Longevity is central to our work. Grave inscriptions must withstand Ireland’s climate while remaining clear and dignified for generations. We use proven engraving techniques and high-quality materials to ensure maximum durability and minimal maintenance.
Where inscriptions have faded due to age or weather exposure, we offer professional re-cutting and restoration, breathing new life into older memorials without compromising their character.
