Home   Choosing a Memorial Memorial Gallery   Inscriptions   Designs  Other Services

In the pages that follow we will try and help you choose an everlasting tribute to your loved one. There are many decisions to be made before your chosen memorial will go into production. We aim to help you make the right choice as simply as possible. You will choose the size, shape, material, inscription, ornamentation and provision for flowers, then we can produce a computerised image of the final design for you to approve.

All burial authorities have rules and regulations, many of them have strict height restrictions, they differ from one church/cemetery to another. There are too many to include on this website however, we will advise you on local regulations specific to you before any quote is processed and when the memorial is ordered we will submit a full memorial application to the relevant local authorities on your behalf.

Memorials can be manufactured to any size (within the regulations) but for quotation purposes we have shown the 4 standard lawn memorial sizes for your perusal, we have also shown a collection of tablet sizes, vases and kerbed memorials.

Granite Colours

Granite is a natural material so each peace varies in colour and appearance. We feel that this adds to the uniqueness of each memorial as no two stones are ever identical. Below is a selection of our most popular polished granites.
