Traditional Surrounds

Traditional Surround Memorials

Traditional surround memorials offer a classic and dignified way to define the grave space. Featuring clean lines and timeless proportions, this style of surround is often chosen for its simplicity, structure and long-standing association with traditional cemetery design.

Designed to complement a wide range of headstones, traditional surrounds create a respectful and enduring memorial that stands the test of time.

A Timeless and Respectful Design

Traditional surrounds focus on balance and understated detail, allowing the headstone and inscription to remain the focal point. Their structured layout provides a neat boundary around the grave while maintaining a familiar and comforting appearance.

Available in a range of granite colours and finishes, traditional surrounds can be tailored to suit individual preferences while remaining appropriate for many cemetery and churchyard settings.

What is A Traditional Surround Memorial?

A traditional surround memorial consists of stone kerbing fitted around the grave space in a simple rectangular layout. This design creates a defined and organised area that can be finished with chippings, soil or approved materials.

Traditional surrounds are often selected for their versatility, as they suit both classic and contemporary headstones and are widely recognised across cemeteries.
