Hand-Painted and Coloured Headstone Designs

Our artists paint coloured designs straight onto polished black granite: a beloved dog or horse, a robin, flowers, a rainbow, a fairy, a favourite car or a child’s own picture. We can also copy a design from any catalogue or photo.

24 designs shown. Every design can be made in another size or granite colour, or changed to suit you.

Granite, size and lettering

Most of our memorials are made in Premium Khammam Ebony Black from our own quarry, which takes a deep mirror polish. They can also be made in Blue Pearl, Bahama Blue, South African Grey, red and green granites – see all granite colours. Cemeteries and churchyards set their own rules on height, width, shape and colour – lawn sections and children’s sections are often stricter. Check with your memorial mason before you choose, and we’ll make the memorial to fit.

How to order

Families: ask your local memorial mason for any design on this page – show them this page or the photo number. Your mason will help with the wording, check the cemetery or churchyard rules, apply for the permit and fit the memorial. Not sure who to ask? Call us on 0161 832 5818 and we’ll help you find a memorial mason near you.

Memorial masons: call 0161 832 5818 or email [email protected] for a drawing and price. Account customers can design it in Memorial Studio and send it to us from their account.

Questions families ask

Can a painted design be refreshed later?

Yes. Like any painted finish outdoors, a memorial mason can touch it up in years to come.

Can you paint our pet?

Yes – send a clear photo and our artists will paint a portrait.
