A wide choice of finishes

We offer a generous selection of stone, so you get the look you want. Granite is the hardest material used to make a memorial, and is very popular. Available in a range of colours, it lends itself to polishing, bringing out the true beauty of the stone, with designs etched into the polished surface. 

Various types of quality marble used
We have three types of marble for you to choose from. White marble is the most commonly used and is normally blue-white in colour with darker blue-grey graining. Dove grey marble offers you the same attributes as white but is blue-grey in colour with heavy figuring. If your churchyard doesn't allow white marble, we can use Nabresina, a beige coloured marble. 

High-quality kerb stones
Kerb stones surround the whole grave with the inside filled in with chippings or left open for planting. Not all cemeteries allow them, but they are very popular when available and some cemeteries have specific areas set aside for them. Fixed onto an all-in-one plinth, they offer you guaranteed stability and safety.

Elegant memorials for cemeteries
Most cemeteries allow you to use any natural stone, such as granite or marble, but often have a limit on the maximum size permissible. We'll help you navigate the regulations at your local cemetery and talk you through the various attributes of each material so you find the perfect stone for your needs.

Custom-made cremation memorials

Memorials for cremation plots tend to be smaller than headstones and rules regarding what is allowed vary in different sites. We can advise you on your options depending on where you need the memorial for and provide you with free printouts of what the finished stone will look like so you can make changes until it's completely perfect.

Inscriptions that last a lifetime
If you require, we can provide you with a layout of your inscription for your approval. We recommend that you use Roman, Roman Italic, Block, Old English or Chancery font. We can advise you on the best type of stone to suit your inscription. To discuss your needs, contact us today,

Express your love with our designs
We can add any design of your choice to a memorial. Whether you want a simple flower, football emblem, service badge or an animal, our skilled craftsmen can incorporate it into the design. We also supply reconstituted marble figures, such as angels, doves and Our Lady, as well as bronze figures and plaques.

Engraved photo plaques
If you'd like to personalise your memorial with a photo plaque, we offer a wide range of high quality porcelain monument portraits. Made in Italy, they're available in a number of shapes, such as oval, rectangular, round, square and heart.
