Headstones & Memorials

A memorial is the one thing we make that has to last longer than anyone who chooses it. That governs every decision behind this collection: the stone, the depth of the lettering, the way a carved relief is cut so that frost cannot get behind it. These are made to be legible in a hundred years.

Granite and marble account for the range. Granite is the harder of the two and holds a crisp edge and deep-cut lettering almost indefinitely, which is why most modern cemeteries specify it. Marble is softer and warmer in tone, takes finer carved detail, and weathers gently over decades rather than staying sharp. Both are correct choices for different reasons.

The collection covers upright and lawn memorials, book and heart tablets, Celtic and standing crosses, carved angels and figurative monuments, and a range of children's memorials. Browse by material in granite headstones and marble headstones, and see the related carved work in angel statues.

Before ordering, check the cemetery or churchyard regulations. Most set limits on height, width, material and finish, and some restrict kerb sets and vases entirely. It is worth doing this first, because the rules vary considerably between a local authority cemetery, a churchyard and a natural burial ground. We will work to whatever specification you are given.

Every memorial is carved to order by our artists, designed in Birmingham and made in our worldwide studios. Standard production takes around three to four weeks, and we offer free worldwide shipping. Get in touch and we will talk you through the stone, the inscription and the regulations, at whatever pace suits you.
