read moreSelecting a memorial is one of the most important choices one makes in a lifetime, because a memorial marks the final resting place of a loved one. We can guide you through the whole process of selecting a memorial, deal with all council 'red tape' and advise or help you with an inscription if required. We carry out a range of services to help with all your memorial needs. We supply headstones and memorials and can help you with authorities ‘red tape'. We also renovate and alter existing memorials and work with the cemeteries to make this a smooth process for the family.

The majority of our work is carried out in Granite due to its durability and finish. When polished it is the material of choice for memorials. Other stones are used to match older memorials when repair or additions are required or simply because someone likes the material. We can supply these materials in many formats from headstones (lawn or with kerb surround) to cemetery tablets, cremation tablets, vases and garden kerbs.
