Memorials
We understand that selecting a memorial can be an emotional and sometimes difficult experience and that it is important to make the right decisions.
With our vast experience as monumental sculptors over the last 70 years, we can provide you with the right advice and guidance to ensure that the memorial you select is a fitting tribute to your loved one.
We use the highest quality materials, including granite, marble, sand-stone and slate sourced from the UK and farther afield including Scandinavia and the Continents of India and Africa. The skills of our quarrymen and Stone Masons, coupled with our talented in house craftsmen, enable us to provide an entirely bespoke service.
The monumental industry traditionally was a craft-based profession with all firms employing skilled hand letter-cutters. However, due to mechanisation and modernisation in the industry, many of those old hand based procedures for lettering and carving memorials have been superseded, for today this is mostly carried out by a procedure known as ‘sand-blasting’. The majority of firms now do not employ any traditional craftsmen. This is not so in our firm. We still retain a team of highly-skilled letter cutters and stone masons, capable of hand-cutting lettering to any style required.
Whatever type of memorial you require, we can produce it for you, no matter how simple or extravagant.
For your peace of mind, we guarantee to offer the most reasonable prices for the highest quality materials and craftsmanship anywhere within the North-East of England. Whilst we firmly believe our list prices to be both reasonable and competitive we guarantee not to be undersold by any other firm of ‘bona fide’ Monumental Sculptors, Memorial Suppliers or Funeral Directors. If you should secure a quotation that you believe to be more competitive than ours, for a memorial of a similar specification, size and quality, produce that price in writing to us and as a gesture of our desire to offer the most reasonable price available, we will not only match that price but give a further reduction of 5%.
Please see a selection of some of our most popular designs set out below.
