Joseph Richmond & Son

read moreWe are a small family firm of memorial masons genuinely established in Newcastle Upon Tyne since 1979. We produce award winning, finely crafted Memorial headstones and provide a full additional inscription and memorial cleaning and renovation service. Our aim is to ensure that you receive the very best in service and quality craftsmanship at the most reasonable price possible in the North east of England. Most of our work comes from personal recommendation from families we have worked for and from funeral industry professionals who refer their clients to us based on their experience of working with us for many years.

read moreAt Grave Care North East we believe that your loved ones final resting place should be tended and maintained to the highest standards by professionals who are fully trained and experienced in EVERY aspect of grave maintenance. Most 'Grave care' firms are NOT trained in memorial masonry and have a background simply in gardening or a building trade. As such they lack the specialist knowledge necessary to properly clean, restore or repair memorials. Furthermore they often operate outside of the local authority rules and regulations put in place to prevent untrained persons from working on memorials in council operated burial grounds.

read moreThe craftsmen at Joseph Richmond & Son are fully trained in many different lettering techniques, enabling us to match the lettering style of any original memorial, regardless of where or when it was originally purchased. The size and style of lettering used on an additional inscription is, of course, dictated by the original lettering and we will ensure that the relevant methods are used to produce a perfect match to the original letters. Whether they were hand cut, using a hammer and chisel, machine cut, or grit blasted, we will be able to replicate them perfectly.
