Temporary grave marker

A recognisable place from the very beginning

After a bereavement, many decisions often need to be made in a short space of time. A permanent headstone may take weeks or even months to arrange, while you may still want the grave to be clearly marked straight away. A temporary grave marker gives the resting place a name and a clear identity from the outset, without requiring you to decide immediately on a permanent memorial.

It also provides practical guidance for family, friends and other visitors. Particularly in larger cemeteries or burial areas where several graves are close together, a clearly visible marker makes the grave easier to find.

Durable and suitable for temporary use at the graveside

The grave marker is made from plastic. This material is resistant to moisture and changing temperatures and is not susceptible to rust or mould.

As a result, the marker remains stable and legible throughout the period in which it is needed. It can be used in accordance with the usual requirements of the relevant cemetery.

Make the marker personal

Sometimes a name and two dates are enough to make a place feel personal and recognisable. You can also add a short message or greeting that reflects the person you miss. In this way, the marker becomes a first visible sign of remembrance while giving you the time to decide later, and without pressure, what a permanent memorial should look like.

Personalisation options

• Name and details for clear identification
• A short personal message, greeting or words of remembrance
• An option that suits the requirements of the relevant cemetery

Practical reassurance
