Headstones

Memorial headstones can be arranged within our cemeteries. A permit must be obtained from the administration office for the erection of any headstone, memorial, or the cutting of any additional inscription. 

All works carried out on monuments must be done by a registered and approved monumental mason and in accordance with our Monumental Mason’s Registration scheme. We can’t recommend specific masons but would suggest an internet search for ‘registered monumental mason Hull’. 

Your mason will submit the permit for the works to be carried out which is authorised by the deed holder. Your chosen mason will guide you through the options available. 

After a burial has taken place, no headstone can be erected until at least 6 months after the date of interment. This is to allow for ground settlement, unless a concrete raft is used. 

In addition to fees from your mason, there are some additional costs payable to Hull City Council -

*An application will be made on behalf of the family to the Children’s Funeral Fund. No payment will be due from families.
