The Craftsmanship
A system specifically tailored and monitored to provide the best possible standards
Qualified
We only use fully qualified and experienced stonemasons.
Every stonemason we use is required to pass strict criteria. We have an expert inspect their work and make sure their memorials meet the standards required by the industry's top governing bodies.
Fair Pricing
The quantity of orders we fulfil gains us discounts with our suppliers.
Those discounts allow us to offer a very high quality product and still remain competitive with other stonemasons.
If you find us a little more expensive than someone else, just remember not all stone is created equally.
Safe
We understand the importance of safety.
This is why our Stonemasons are required to abide by strict safety regulations adhering to government standards.
From the foundations to the ground anchor system, everything is tested and fitted to be completely safe and secure
Guaranteed
We're so confident in our product that we literally guarantee the quality.
All of our memorials include guarantees on the lettering, subsidence, joint strength, material quality and a satisfaction guarantee promising to put it right if you're not happy with the finished product!
