Memorial marker with several designs on glass plate

Still in stone, remembered in image

Choosing a memorial marker is not something you do lightly. You are looking for something that reflects who your loved one was, something that holds. Granite has been used for exactly this purpose for centuries, not by accident, but because it endures in a way that few other materials do.

Granite: hard-wearing, dignified and precise

Granite is one of the hardest natural stones available for memorial use. Its grey tones are timeless and sit comfortably in almost any setting. The glass plate carrying the chosen design is produced with precision and acts as a clear visual focus on the stone, combining the sharpness of a chosen image with the steadiness that granite naturally has.

Designs that say something about them

The designs on the glass plate are not decoration for its own sake. When you choose an image that connects to what your loved one cared about, a landscape, a bird, a particular season, the marker becomes something more than a name and a date. The glass plate holds that image clearly and durably, visible to anyone who stops beside the stone.

What you can expect from this memorial

Granite is low-maintenance and resistant to frost, rain and the gradual effects of time. The glass plate is protected and not sensitive to ordinary weathering. You should not expect fading or surface damage under normal outdoor conditions.

Placement and stability

Granite is a heavy material and requires a stable base. Any concrete slab beneath the memorial marker, and the pile foundations beneath that slab, will need to be installed by the cemetery. This is standard practice and your cemetery management will be able to advise you on their process.

Cemetery regulations: check before you order

Before placing an order, it is worth speaking to your cemetery manager or local authority first. Many burial grounds have specific requirements covering the dimensions, materials and form of any memorial. Some also require that installation is carried out by a stonemason from the local area. Confirming these details in advance avoids any difficulty later.

Approval before production

Once you have placed your order, we will send you a proof for approval before production begins. This gives you the opportunity to check all text on the memorial carefully before anything is finalised.

A stone that fits them

If you are looking for a memorial marker that reflects the bond you shared, choosing the right design is the most personal part of the process. Take the time you need with it. We are here to help, without pressure and without rushing you.
