Large Memorials, Family Memorials and Kerbsets

We make large memorials for families and communities: full kerbsets, double and family headstones, memorials with pillars and canopies, obelisks and war memorials. Large pieces are cut and polished on German machines in our own factory, with carving done by hand.

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

Kerbsets and full memorials

A full kerbset covers the whole grave, with a headstone, kerbs and often vases or chippings.

Community and war memorials

We have made war memorials, memorial walls and obelisks with long lists of names. Councils, parish councils and associations can contact us directly.

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.
