We can advise on Church of England rules and current fees and will liaise with individual vicars and church offices on our customers’ behalf, to manage the process of applying for permission to erect a memorial in a churchyard.

Williams-Bath has been actively working with the Cemetery for many years to provide beautiful memorials for Bath families.

Professional Advice


We can advise on current restrictions and guidelines and assist our customers with completing the appropriate paperwork for each cemetery.

Arnos Vale Cemetery


The new Memorial Wall at Arnos Vale Cemetery was unveiled by the Lord Mayor in 2010 and Bristol&WestMemorials was chosen as the appointed stonemason to provide plaques for the wall. Close to Ceremonial Way, the Memorial Wall can be found in one of the most prestigious and beautiful locations within Arnos Vale Cemetery.

More information on the Arnos Vale Cemetery Memorial Wall can be found here.
