Sports, Football and Vehicle Headstones

A memorial can say something about the person’s life. We carve footballs, shirts and boots, guitars with real strings, motorbikes, lorries, vans, cars and steam trains in granite, as headstones, toppers or stand-alone memorials. If you can describe it or send a photo, our craftsmen can carve it.

Lorries, motorbikes, cars and trains

A lifelong driver, biker or railway enthusiast can be remembered with their lorry, motorbike, car or steam train carved in granite.

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 you carve my dad’s lorry or motorbike?

Yes. Send us or your memorial mason photos and we’ll make a drawing for you to approve.

Can you add a team badge or colours?

We can carve or paint team colours and designs. Club badges and logos may need the club’s permission.

Are these allowed in cemeteries?

Many are. Some cemeteries limit shapes and colours – your memorial mason will check before you order.
