It is important to remember that ANY shape or design can be manufactured in any material and that all ornaments and designs are interchangeable.

The erecting of a memorial is a very detailed and specialist duty which has to meet the very high standards required under Health & Safety specifications, British Standards BS 8415 and the National Association of Memorial Masons Code of Working Practice.
All Mossford memorials are erected by our own specialist memorial fitting personnel. These accomplished and skilled staff members are BRAMM (British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons) Licensed which means they have been highly trained and then they have had to pass strenuous practical and written examinations to achieve the highest possible qualification in the whole of the UK for competent and proficient erecting of memorials. These craftsmen responsible for the memorial erection are always mindful of the respect and reverence they need to have for the environment in which this work takes place. There are various approved methods of fixing memorials which can vary from area to area and depend on the design and size of each memorial. These fixing methods combat vandalism and provide greater stability in the event of ground movement. All foundations used are of the highest specification and quality anywhere in the UK. Mossfords never compromise on any standard or specification of any fitting component to ensure that you have the confidence and reassurance that the memorial erected in memory of your loved one will be a lasting and dignified tribute of enduring stability.
Memorial Maintenance
After a memorial has been installed, it is subjected to all manner of weather conditions and depending on its location, many environmental elements and pollutants etc. It is therefore an important consideration to have the memorial regularly cared for. There are many factors today that mean it is not always possible for everyone to be able to tend to their memorials on a regular basis. Many of our clients utilize our extremely popular Memorial Maintenance Service. Having a memorial, professionally maintained provides you with peace of mind and is a wise investment. The memorial receives regular visits throughout the year by our trained and skilled staff. During each visit the memorial is professionally washed, cleaned and tended to, the grass surrounding the memorial is trimmed back and the memorial checked and inspected for any problems.

After each visit we write and inform our client that the memorial has been tended to which re-assures them of the continued high standard of the memorial's condition.

Memorial Insurance
All-Risks Memorial Insurance Protect the memory of a loved one – with an insurance policy you can rely on. Underwritten by Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance PLC, the cost of this cover can be as little as just £5.40 a year. This specialist policy provides peace of mind and is extremely good value for money. StoneGuard "All Risks" Cover. Whilst you will care for the memorial to a loved one, it is always advisable to insure a memorial against accidental damage and vandalism, making sure the cover takes effect immediately the memorial is erected. Attacks of vandalism are not restricted to grand or elaborate memorials – often the simplest family memorials are the targets of malicious attacks or are accidently damaged by lawn mowers and strimmers. But it is not just vandalism that you need to protect against, subsidence is a very common issue as are storm and impact damage – all covered by StoneGuard "All Risks" Cover. You can even insure your old family memorial, which may have been in the cemetery for years. In this case the memorial will have to be valued by us before insurance is taken out. It can happen – as these typical examples show: What Happened Falling Tree Accidental Damage Storm – Blow Over Stolen Statue Lawnmower Impact Staining Subsidence Graffiti Vandalism
