Heritage Gravestones & Monuments Pack

For historic gravestones, tombs and monuments in churchyards, cemeteries and burial grounds in Scotland, Wales and England. Who owns the memorial, who must agree, whether it is stable enough to touch, which method to trial, how to protect lettering, lead and living growth, and what to hand back to the family. It adds the memorial-specific records on top of Phase 1 and a Phase 2-style site setup.

£149no VAT

£99 as an add-on with the Phase 2 Site Pack.

Natural_Stone_Craft_Heritage_Memorials_Pack_V1.0.zip

Laser-cleaned limestone against remaining urban soiling, a sharp vertical boundary.

Who this is for

Grave owners and families, councils' bereavement services, churches, trusts, friends groups and contractors cleaning or recording historic memorials.

V1.0 · Reviewed in-house · Not conservator-approved. Not reviewed or approved by an accredited conservator or heritage body, a memorial mason accreditation body, a laser protection adviser (LPA), the CWGC, any burial, church or planning authority, or any regulator. Documentation templates only. Not legal, conservation, structural or safety advice.

Works best with Phase 1 (Local Rules, Handbook) and Phase 2 (site day papers). It does not replace either. Most memorial cleaning is water and soft brush; laser is one option among several. If laser is in your trial plan, the Phase 1 Local Rules and your LPA's hazard-distance and eyewear calculation still apply.
