Frequently Asked Questions

Is the oak memorial cross suitable for woodland burial sites?

Yes. Crafted from natural solid oak, the cross blends beautifully into woodland burial grounds and natural memorial settings. Its natural timber construction makes it a particularly attractive choice for peaceful outdoor places of remembrance.

Can I personalise the wording?

Of course. Every memorial cross is made to order and can be personalised with names, dates, poems, verses, meaningful quotes or your own heartfelt message. We carefully arrange your wording to create an attractive and easy-to-read memorial.

Will I receive a design proof before production?

Yes, if you select the proof option when placing your order. We prepare a professional artwork proof for your approval before manufacturing begins, giving you the opportunity to check the details before production.

How long will the oak cross last outdoors?

Our memorial crosses are manufactured from premium solid oak, chosen for its natural beauty and durability. Like all natural timber, oak will gradually weather when exposed to the elements, developing its own character over time. Applying a suitable exterior wood treatment periodically can help preserve its appearance.

How is the memorial plaque attached to the cross?

Plaques are supplied pre-fitted with tiny gold screws, similar to those shown in some of the listing photographs. Prefer no visible screws? Just let us know and we’ll use an alternative fixing method.

How is the memorial cross installed?

Installation is straightforward. Dig a suitable hole, position the base of the cross into the ground and firmly compact the removed soil around the base to secure it. No specialist installation is normally required, although you should always follow any requirements set by the cemetery or burial ground.

Can it be used in a memorial garden?

Yes. The oak memorial cross can be used in memorial gardens, remembrance gardens, private gardens and other dedicated places of reflection, subject to any local requirements.

Is the cross suitable for a cremation plot?

It can be suitable for cremation plots and ashes burial areas where memorial crosses are permitted. We recommend checking the regulations of the cemetery, crematorium or burial ground before ordering.

Can this memorial cross be used for a pet?

Yes. A personalised oak memorial cross can also provide a beautiful tribute for a much-loved pet and can be placed in a private pet memorial garden, pet cemetery or other permitted remembrance area.

Can I order a replacement memorial plaque?

Yes. If your plaque is damaged or you require a replacement at a later date, we can usually manufacture a replacement personalised plaque. Please contact us with your original order details.

Is every memorial cross handmade?

Yes. Each oak memorial cross is individually made to order and personalised in our Cambridgeshire workshop, using carefully selected materials and over 20 years of professional sign-making and engraving experience.

How quickly will my memorial cross be dispatched?

As every memorial cross is made to order and individually personalised, production times can vary depending on the design and personalisation selected. The current estimated dispatch time is displayed on the product page, and we'll keep you informed throughout the production process.
