Memorial stone with white dove

When words alone aren't enough

Choosing a memorial for someone you loved is one of the hardest decisions you will make. You want something that lasts, that feels right, and that genuinely reflects who they were. This granite memorial stone, set with a white dove in bronze, is made to do exactly that.

Granite and bronze: two materials built to endure

Granite has been used for memorial monuments for centuries, and for good reason. It is exceptionally hard, resistant to frost and rain, and holds its structure for decades. The white dove is cast in bronze, an alloy with a long track record of standing up to outdoor conditions while keeping its character over time. Both materials demand skill and precision, in the stoneworking and in the bronze casting, and that level of care is visible in the finished piece.

The dove carries layered meaning across many traditions. It is a symbol of peace and of passage into a new existence. More personally, if the person you are remembering was someone who brought calm to others, who valued freedom, or who spent their life seeking stillness, this image speaks directly to that. It is not decoration. It is recognition.

Personalisation options

Text engraving is available on this memorial stone. A name, a date, or a phrase that captures the bond you shared, engraved directly into the stone.

Practical things to check before you order

Before placing your order, it is worth contacting your cemetery manager or local authority to confirm what is permitted at your chosen burial ground. Some cemeteries specify restrictions on dimensions, materials or design, and certain sites require that installation is carried out only by approved local stonemasons. Any concrete base slab and foundation piling beneath the memorial stone must be installed by the cemetery itself, not supplied with the stone.

Once your order is placed, we will send you a proof for approval before production begins. This gives you the chance to review the inscription carefully and confirm every detail is correct.
