Cremation urn gravestone

A memorial that earns its place

Choosing a cremation urn in gravestone form is not a decision made lightly. You want something that sits right, that reflects the person being remembered and belongs to the place where it will stand.

Granite: durable by nature

This urn for ashes is crafted in granite, one of the most enduring natural stones available for memorial use. Granite resists frost, rainfall and temperature change across the seasons. Its structure remains stable over many years, which makes it particularly suited to a permanent memorial. Because granite is a natural material, each piece carries its own pattern within the stone. No two monuments are identical.

Available in several colours

The monument is available in a range of granite colours, allowing you to choose a tone that suits your wishes and the setting where it will stand. Whether you prefer a quieter grey or a deeper, darker shade, the result remains dignified and composed.

What the memorial says is yours to decide

A name, a date, a phrase that says precisely what needs to be said. Engraving is available to personalise the stone, giving it a meaning that goes beyond the material itself. If you are searching for the right words, the link below offers a selection of example texts that may help.

A proof for your approval

Once you have placed your order, we will send you a proof of the engraving for your approval before anything is cut into the stone. You will have the opportunity to review every detail and confirm you are satisfied.

Practical things worth knowing before you order

Granite is a robust material, but placing a memorial takes preparation. There are a few important points to work through before you proceed.

Check with your cemetery before ordering

Every cemetery operates its own regulations, and these vary considerably. Before ordering this funeral urn monument, it is worth speaking to your cemetery manager or local authority to confirm what is and is not permitted at your chosen site. Some cemeteries specify permitted dimensions, materials or forms for memorials. Others require that installation is carried out only by approved local stonemasons. Any concrete base slab or pile foundation beneath the monument will typically need to be installed by the cemetery itself. If you are considering placing the memorial in a private garden rather than a cemetery, a plastic urn vault is also available, which you can install yourself. Non-standard dimensions can be accommodated, so please do get in touch if your situation requires something specific.
