Over the past three years, we've seen a sharp rise in new businesses entering the memorial jewellery market—many of which are operating from home or even their garage or garden shed! These businesses often do not list a physical address or hide behind a PO Box on their website, making it difficult to verify who they are or how they operate. When you're entrusting someone with your loved one's ashes, this level of uncertainty should be a red flag. It's essential to know that your precious memories are being handled in a professional, secure environment by a team that values accountability and care.
Why Choosing a Business With Proper Premises Matters
When choosing a service provider or supplier, many people overlook one critical detail: does the business operate from a professional, inspectable location or from their kitchen table or shed?
Businesses with proper premises offer more than just an address—they offer trust, professionalism, and accountability.
A physical location that customers can visit signals that the business is serious. It means they've made investments in infrastructure, staffing, and transparency. You can walk in, meet real people, and see how the operation runs. It shows they’re not just building something temporary but have committed to doing business long-term.
By contrast, businesses that operate from a home or garage often lack the same level of transparency. While some might be perfectly legitimate, there's a greater risk of limited resources, fly-by-night setups, or questionable service standards. You can't just "drop by" to check on progress or hold them accountable in person. That can become a real problem if anything goes wrong.
From a customer’s point of view, it's about peace of mind. If a business can be audited, inspected, and visited, you're dealing with a company that has nothing to hide. That adds a layer of credibility and reliability that a garage-based operation simply can't match.
