Vale Memorials

At the beginning of a new year we often find that we have the time to spruce up the work shop and get on top of any problems with tools and equipment. But this year finds us more focused than usual on such matters. Unfortunately over the Christmas break there was a burst water pipe in the workshop and the damage was quite impressive. Just like many other homes and business’ we find ourselves having to replace ceilings, electrics and walls but although it is inconvenient our work continues. So while the builders get on with their work we are getting back into our stride.

The first week in January saw me travelling to the City of London Cemetery to deliver a course on the fixing of memorials followed by another trip to London to test eight candidates for their BRAMM fixing qualification.

Still on the subject of training at the end of the month I will be hosting a course in Glynneath for memorial masons and Sextons on the delicate subject of memorial inspection and testing.

Below you will find the dates for Mothering Sunday, Palm Sunday and Easter and if you would like to have any remedial work carried out on a family memorial please remember that you should allow plenty of time to ensure the work is carried out as this is a busy time for such work.

Before closing I should remind you that Photo plaques are very popular and can be easily and securely fixed onto a memorial on site. So if you have a memorial and you thought you had missed the opportunity to fit a photo plaque, be assured there is no problem at all.

In closing I would like to wish everyone a peaceful and prosperous new year.

MOTHERING SUNDAY 3^rd OF APRIL.

PALM SUNDAY: 17^TH OF APRIL.

GOOD FRIDAY: 22^nd OF APRIL.
