Memorial stone with glass plate 'Arum'

When words alone aren't enough

A memorial stone is not decoration. It is the place you return to, where you pause, where the connection with someone you have lost remains tangible. That choice deserves care and certainty.

Granite set with an engraved arum lily

The Arum memorial stone is made from granite, one of the most enduring natural stones available. Granite forms under extreme pressure deep within the earth, and that origin shows in its character. It resists frost, moisture and the effects of time, making it well suited to long-term placement in a cemetery or burial ground. The glass plate featuring the arum lily is set into the granite with precision. The motif is not a sticker or a surface print; it is an integral part of the stone itself.

What the arum lily means

The arum lily is a distinctive flower. Its clean, white spathe encloses a centre that stands entirely on its own. That image fits someone who moved through the world quietly and with purpose, present without needing many words to make themselves felt. If that recognition lands for you, this motif is more than a design choice. It says something true about who that person was.

Personalisation is available: an engraved name, a date, or a short phrase that speaks to the bond you shared can be added to the stone.

Practical considerations before you order

Granite is hard-wearing and requires very little maintenance. That said, every cemetery sets its own requirements regarding dimensions, materials and placement. Some burial grounds restrict installation to locally approved stonemasons. Where a concrete base or foundation posts are needed beneath the stone, these are typically installed by the cemetery itself. Before placing your order, we strongly recommend speaking with your cemetery manager or local authority to confirm what is permitted at your specific location.

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 review the inscription carefully and confirm every detail before the stone goes into production.
