Burials

If you’re arranging a headstone for a loved one, this page guides you through the process step by step - who to contact, what to expect, and how to get started.

Getting started

To begin, choose a monumental sculptor. They’ll help you select a headstone and will contact us directly to organise the foundation work needed. You don’t need to worry about technical details - just let your sculptor know your wishes, and we’ll handle the rest together.

Monumental Sculptor Registration Scheme

Any monumental sculptor working within South Lanarkshire Cemeteries needs to be on our registration scheme. Contact Bereavement Services to make sure your chosen sculptor is registered.

How we help

Once your sculptor reaches out, we’ll dig and lay the foundations for your chosen headstone. Our team works closely with them to ensure everything is safe and ready, making things as straightforward as possible for you.

Costs
