Stone Masonry & Memorials
Following the funeral of a loved one, many people like to purchase a memorial as a lasting tribute. Memorials can take many forms, such as a headstone on a burial plot or a niche within the crematorium grounds.
The selection of a memorial is very personal and there are many things that may govern your choice. We have a display of memorial stones for you to view if needed.
If it is the first time you have purchased a memorial it is helpful if you have professional advice.
Garden Seats and Benches - sourced from a local supplier, can be personalised with plaques, and help is on hand to site these seats where others can enjoy them, or of course they can be placed in a tranquil location.
Trees and Shrubs - can be a most fitting of reminders as well as assisting the environment. A relatively new idea is that of patterned or engraved glass, and through a contact with a leading glass specialist, windows, mirrors and other speciality items can be sourced.
Stone Memorials
We can now also offer on-line memorials. Please call for more details. Listed below are some of the many things to consider when purchasing a memorial. We are fully aware of all restrictions within the local areas and can give helpful advice on all the issues below:
- Churchyards and cemeteries each have their own regulations
- Location of the headstone may affect material used
- Choice of lettering may affect material used

The above points serve as a guide to topics that can be discussed with us. We have a display to guide you to your choice. Please remember, our aim at all times is to assist you in selecting a memorial that not only meets with the statutory requirements of a churchyard or cemetery, but more importantly fully meets your desire for a fitting tribute for the death of your loved one.
