Headstone Re-Lettering and Memorial Inscription Restoration
Over time, memorial inscriptions can fade due to weather exposure, age and environmental conditions. Harris Grave Tending provides professional headstone re-lettering services across Chichester, Bognor Regis, Arundel, Littlehampton, Worthing, Portsmouth, Havant and surrounding areas.
Our re-lettering service helps restore faded inscriptions, making memorials easier to read whilst preserving their original character.
Restoring Faded Memorial Inscriptions
Many older memorials suffer from lettering that has become difficult to read. This is particularly common on memorials where painted or gilded inscriptions have deteriorated over time.
Our inscription restoration services include:
- Gold leaf inscription restoration
- Painted inscription renewal
- Memorial lettering restoration
- Selective inscription repair
- Full inscription re-lettering
Each project is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate restoration method.
Gold Leaf Headstone Lettering
Gold leaf remains one of the most attractive and durable finishes for memorial inscriptions. It provides excellent visibility and creates a beautiful appearance that complements both modern and historic memorials.
We regularly restore gold leaf inscriptions on:
- Granite headstones
- Marble memorials
- Family monuments
- Churchyard memorials
The result is a respectful restoration that enhances the memorial whilst maintaining its original appearance.
