Choosing a memorial
Choosing a memorial for Bowden Street Cemetery
Common memorial styles around Sheffield include upright granite stones, flower holders, shaped tops and modest cremation tablets. The best starting point depends on the grave section, the family wording and whether the plot already has a memorial in place.
Typical headstone size considerations include the cemetery section, foundation requirements, inscription space and whether the grave has settled enough for installation. Requirements vary depending on the section of the cemetery and council regulations.
Where a kerb set or larger traditional memorial is being considered, we check the cemetery position and likely permission route before recommending it as an option.
