A memorial with a personal meaning.
A favourite detail. A meaningful shape. Words that sound like them. We help you bring these choices together in a memorial that honours an individual life.
You do not need a finished idea.
Some families arrive with a sketch or a photograph. Others know only the feeling they want a memorial to hold. Both are a good place to begin. Tell us about your loved one, the details that matter to you and anything you would like help deciding.
We will also ask for the cemetery and grave details. Understanding these early helps us consider a design within the setting where it will stand. Sizes, materials and permitted features can differ between cemeteries and sections.
The beginnings of something personal.
Explore shapes and details from our workshop. Each photograph offers a starting point for a conversation about your own memorial.
Every detail has a place.
Our workshop photographs offer starting points for a conversation. Together, we can consider how the shape, surface and lettering will sit alongside one another. We will confirm which adaptations are possible for your memorial.
Shape and proportions
Discuss a simple headstone, a shaped profile or a memorial with a kerb surround, taking account of the available space and cemetery requirements.
Stone and finish
Explore granite, marble and the material choices available for your design. We will discuss the colour and finish alongside the cemetery requirements.
Words and calligraphy
Bring together names, dates and a personal message, with English, Arabic or multilingual lettering considered as part of the whole design.
See the design before it is made.
Once the direction is agreed, we prepare a digital design visual for you to review. Take time to check the layout, spelling, dates and wording, and to share it with the people involved in your decision.
Manufacture follows your approval and the necessary cemetery permissions. We discuss the quotation, expected timing and installation arrangements with you as the details become clear. Care and maintenance can be considered too, whenever you are ready.
Questions you may have.
There is no need to have everything worked out. We are here to talk through the details with you.
Can I use an idea that is not in the gallery?
Yes. Share a photograph, sketch or description and we can discuss what may be possible. The final design depends on the material, construction and cemetery requirements.
Can a workshop design be changed?
We can discuss changes to the shape, stone, finish and inscription. We will confirm what is feasible and include the agreed details in your design visual and quotation.
Do we need to decide on the wording first?
No. You can begin with the overall design and develop the inscription with us as the memorial takes shape. All wording should be checked and approved before manufacture.
