About Lawn grave memorials
Lawn grave memorials are available at Hove cemetery.

The tablet size is approximately one foot by one foot and nine inches and tapers from four to two inches.
There is room for the cremated remains of two people to be buried under the memorial.

Lettering
Lettering can be cut into the stone and painted black, silver or gold. Raised lead lettering, painted black, is also available.

How to arrange a memorial tablet
Memorial work can take 12 weeks to complete, with a layout of the proposed wording sent to the applicant before work commences. An interment can be arranged by the grave owner at any time before or after the memorial stone itself has been completed. The rights of ownership are for an initial period of 50 years.
If you wish to choose the specific space for the memorial, within the current Lawn Grave area, please make an appointment. This is not compulsory though and a space can be allocated in the current area on your behalf.
