A Hand-Tailored Headstone for a Unique Person
It is never an easy thing to have the responsibility of creating a lasting headstone that truly captures the character and life of someone you love. There are many generic gravestones out there that give no sense of the individuality of the people they represent. These are stones that don't just serve as a reminder for us but that will be a marker for generations to come.
​
Every headstone we create is hand carved and designed by one of our highly experienced team who will guide you through the whole process from design through to installation. This personalised approach is the best way of getting a truly individual and exceptional headstone.
The Design
With endless possibilities, finding the right design can take time. Often people come to us with photos or an object represent their loved one, or simply other headstones or engravings that they have seen and like.
​
However it is equally common for people to have no idea where to start. It is best to reach out and together we can realise a design that is both meaningful and beautiful.
​Sometimes, when there are no words simplicity is best and can be incredibly peaceful and yet powerful.
We are happy to fulfil any request you make from dates on a pebble to an elaborate poem on an ornate tomb.
​
No job is too small.

Choosing the Right Stone
There are a huge variety of beautiful stones in varying colours and textures that bring soul and life to carving and will stand the test of time.
Often granite is the requested stone for gravestones for its longevity. Granite does however have it's limitations as it doesn't hold detail well and is slow and costly.
In every old graveyard you will see aged headstones that have weathered to become timeless and harmonious with their surroundings, in a way that a stone that is totally resistant to weathering often will not achieve.
