Choosing a memorial
Headstones, plaques, benches and books of remembrance all serve the same purpose in different ways. There is no hurry to decide, and we can talk you through what is possible at the cemeteries and crematoria near Sherwood.
Many ways to remember them
An item to treasure, a place to reflect, or a vessel to hold their ashes – honour their life in a way that feels right.
Looking after a memorial

Baguley Brothers were very understanding during the whole process, as myself and brother had not dealt with this before.

Mum had already made a pre paid funeral plan. This made it so easy for us. Her collection was very respectfully and quickly carried out and Baguleys contacted us politely about making arrangements. Things weren't easy due to the death occuring just before Christmas so this delayed the certificate issue. However Baguleys were very understanding about our preferences and found a suitable minister and helpful about all the details required at a time when so much has to be done. The service itself went beautifully and we received many compliments about it. The funeral director was perfect, warm, respectful, kind and gently nudging us to ensure appropriate conduct. I think our Mother would have loved it. Thank you Baguleys.

Baguley Brothers Funeral Directors were amazing. My mother died at home, and the staff at baguleys were wonderful to deal with. They were professional and respectful and a real comfort to me during a very difficult time. Any questions I had, Sam at the office on Mansfield Road was a great help and so kind and respectful. She went above and beyond what I would expect. And the funeral was so beautifully done. I am so grateful to them.
