MEMOR IAL IN S U R A N C E Memorial Insurance MEMOR I A L I N S UR A N CE Of course you will care for the grave of a loved one. But who will safeguard the memorial and repair or replace it should damage occur over the years? Subsidence and accidental damage are very common issues. StoneGuard® can ensure damage, from minor repairs to total replacement is rectified very quickly from as little as £5.60 a year. The StoneGuard® Memorial Stone Insurance is an “All Risks” policy. Typically, claims we receive are as a result of damage from lawn mowers, falling trees and subsidence, or from preventative measures taken by local councils when they feel a memorial stone may be unsafe. What’s not covered? There are some exclusions which apply to this policy, including depreciation, wear and tear and damage caused over time by sun- light and weather. Cleaning, repair and restoration - other than that following insured damage - is also excluded. 58
