Design
Design of all of our memorials, after the confirmation of order stage, start off as full size paper layouts
They are sent by post, but not until the blank memorial has been delivered to us, which can take up to 12 weeks.
The bespoke designs created are hand drawn onto full size paper layouts, which accompany the suggested inscriptions and are sent to all of our clients.
These paper layouts enable the immediate and wider family members a chance to see the design of the memorial layout before any stone engraving begins.
A returned signed and dated design layout is kept until needed.
Care and expertise is used throughout the complete process
Using a grit shaded technique the image is transformed onto the polished granite surface, the design is then hand painted.
As I work alone with noisy machinery, it can mean that phone calls may go unanswered at times so please be patient, leave a message and your call will be returned if needed.
The drawings are then cut off, traced and cut out onto stencil tape using fine craft blades
Each memorial is different and is designed to be a unique, lasting memorial tribute to the person it is dedicated to.
This is something I pride myself upon to achieve as higher quality memorial as possible, as can be seen from the images in the gallery.

It is important to understand and also appreciate, that the whole process from start to finish can take quite a long time.
