Frequently Asked Questions

What colours are available?

You can order our designs in many different materials, the most popular being Black or Grey Granite. Some Cemeteries and Graveyards have restrictions on which materials can be used, this is something we would clarify before you place an order. Please see our Materials & Finishes page for colour swatches and more details.

Which letter colour lasts longest?

The letters for your inscription can be simply cut into the stone and left plain or they can be painted black, white, silver or gold. For those looking for a premium finish, having the cut lettering gilded with gold leaf is also an option. They are all equally resillient to the weather but conditions will vary from location to location so the colour chosen should be based simply on personal choice. It is also worth noting that lettering which is placed on flat surfaces (ie on the top of a headstone base) will weather more quickly than those on the face of the headstone.

Can I add kerbs in front of a small/children's memorial?

Yes, we can put a small graveside surround called ‘Garden Kerbs’ around any headstone, providing the cemetery gives permission. We will be able to advise you on this and apply for a permit on your behalf.
