Renovation Before And After | Kelly Cowin Memorials

This professional full grave renovation project was carried out in Balgriffin Cemetery, restoring a memorial back to its original beauty with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. The memorial featured a Black Granite headstone with decorative White Marble panel detailing running up the left-hand side, mounted within a grave surround with full limestone kerbing. Over time, the memorial had naturally weathered, and as part of the renovation works, all stonework was professionally cleaned and restored to revive its original appearance. The decorative White Marble panel was carefully renovated back to its original condition, restoring the brightness and elegant contrast against the polished black granite headstone. The full limestone kerbing surrounding the grave was also professionally renovated, bringing back the natural finish and clean appearance of the stonework. The existing inscription on the headstone was professionally repainted using silver paint, significantly improving clarity and restoring the refined appearance of the lettering. An additional inscription was also added, seamlessly matched to the existing style and layout of the memorial. The centre of the plot was fully refurbished with the addition of fresh concrete foundations and completed with new grey granite chippings, creating a neat, durable and low-maintenance finish. This renovation project also includes before and after photographs, clearly showcasing the quality of the restoration work completed by Kelly Cowin Memorials. Expertly restored to the highest standards, this renovation highlights the importance of professional memorial restoration in preserving treasured family memorials for future generations.
