  This handbook lists over 200 organizations and charities that offer memorials. It suggests appropriate memorials, with prices ranging from #50 to more than a million pounds. The book also offers advice on ensuring that bequests are used in the way intended and not lost among the vast sums from unusable legacies. From naming a star to a hospital wing, from endowing a literary prize, to a plantation of trees, the book gives sample prices and contact addresses. Guidance is also offered regarding restrictions governing the erection of traditional headstones and crematoria urns and plaques. Tax regulations for bequests and covenants are discussed, as well as efficient methods of organizing a group memorial to commemorate an important local figure.
