Questions families ask

Can you copy a headstone design from a photo?

Yes. Send us or your memorial mason a photo or sketch and our factory will make a drawing for you to approve before anything is cut.

How long does a made-to-order headstone take?

11 weeks on average from the approved drawing. Many standard designs are in stock in Manchester and can be fitted much sooner.

Which granite is best for a headstone?

Premium Khammam Ebony Black is the most popular: it takes a deep mirror polish, holds fine lettering and laser etching well, and stays looking new. Blue Pearl, Bahama Blue, South African Grey and red granites are also popular.
