“
I would like to praise the way staff dealt with me. It turned out to be totally my error! But to start with when the memorial stone was completed and returned to to the plot I noticed a chip in in the front corner of the masonry.

I got in touch to enquire about it. I was shown the 'before' photo of the headstone and true enough the chip was already there! I had not noticed it, but of course, once refreshed with all your wonderful expertise the stone came up like new! I felt terrible for mentioning it! and yet was treated with great understanding. Thank you!"
