Local Funeral Directors and Memorial Stonemasons, Lodge Brothers have come to the aid of a Shepperton angel who lost her marble hands when thieves vandalised St Mary Magdalene Church in Squires Bridge Road.

‘We like to think we are on the side of the angels’ said Chris Lodge, who manages Lodge Brothers’ memorial stonemasonry division, ‘and like so many local people we were upset to hear of the angel losing her hands and were determined to do something about it. As a local, family owned business, supporting the local community is something we are proud to do and what better than to help a fallen angel’
Accordingly stonemasons from Lodge Brothers have visited the church, measured the angel and are now busy making a new pair of hands. Soon the angel will be restored to her former glory thanks to Lodge Brothers who are donating their services and expertise fee of charge
Angels Delight
Alison Waters the Vicar at St Mary Magdalene, who was very sad when she discovered the original damage, said she was absolutely delighted to hear of the gift from Lodge Brothers.

Cemeteries and churchyards often have rules governing and regulating the kinds of headstones and memorials that can be erected, and often also the inscriptions and ornamentation that accompanies the headstones can be subject to review. These regulations can vary from place to place and it is advisable to check. A MEMORIAL GROUP memorial mason will be able to assist.

Cremation sites: Some crematoriums simply have a central memorial universally commemorating all those buried nearby. In others, memorials in the shape of Headstones or plaques can be erected on individual plots.

NB: Before a memorial, be it a Headstone or a plaque, can be erected in a churchyard or cemetery, written permission has to be obtained from its management. Your MEMORIAL GROUP memorial mason will see to this for you.

 
Responsibility for Memorials

Responsibility of your memorial is yours and not the cemetery or churchyard management. The maintenance of your memorial, should it become dilapidated or unsafe, is your responsibility. Please remember that if the memorial becomes unsafe then certain steps may be taken to lay it down or remove it.

It is therefore wise to arrange for it to be regularly maintained – and insured. The Memorial Group offers maintenance schemes that include cleaning and checking.

Internet Memorials

Created to meet today’s demanding lifestyles, a memorial to a loved one on the internet is an ideal enhancement to a traditional commemoration. Unlike a short-term obituary in the local press, it will remain a lasting dedication for private family viewing, or for all the world to see.

This commemoration from your heart is always at your fingertips as there are no closed gates on the internet. Family or friends, anywhere in the world, can visit a Memorial any time around the clock. Visitors can also log in and pay their respects in a dedicated book of condolence, linked to a nominated charity…
