Memorials and headstones
A lasting place to visit and remember. We can help you choose, design and arrange a memorial for a cemetery, churchyard or crematorium.
Choosing a memorial
We offer a wide range of granite, marble and stone memorials, from traditional lawn headstones to books, hearts, kerb sets and cremation memorials. Every memorial is made to order, and the shape, stone, design and inscription can all be personalised.
If you have seen a memorial elsewhere, we would be happy to quote for a matching one.

Cemetery and churchyard rules
Every cemetery and churchyard has its own rules about the size, stone and finish of a memorial, and each application is decided by the burial authority. Polished granite and marble are not usually permitted in churchyards, but all of our granite memorials are available in a honed finish, which is usually accepted.
We will explain the regulations that apply and make the application for you.
How long it takes
Each memorial is made to order and can take up to 12 weeks from receipt of your payment and signed order confirmation. If there is a date that matters to you, such as an anniversary, let us know and we will do our best to meet it.
Other memorial services
We can also help with existing memorials, including:
- additional inscriptions, from £3.20 per letter (Leeds City Council charges £150 for an additional inscription, churches £39)
- re-painting or re-gilding existing lettering
- cleaning, from £160
- re-fixing with a new anchor kit, from £250
- removal of an existing memorial, from £130
