The monument is constructed of ashlar and features a square pedestal that stands approximately 2 meters high. It has a stepped cyma moulded plinth and cornice, with fielded panelled faces that include an inscription facing the church. There are three steps leading up to the draped urn. The monument was formerly enclosed, but the railings have since been removed.
