What customers say
Based on genuine customer reviews
A granite memorial made for a family in Birmingham was designed and built to match an adjacent family grave in both stone and design, and the result was described as excellent. Ben and his colleagues were welcoming and caring throughout, and the work is still carried out on site, with traditional skills and heritage passed on.
Ben showed the customer around the workshop, which proved fascinating, and the premises, office included, felt cosy and unpretentious. The memorial was finished to a high standard and achieved the desired match to the existing grave.
Reviews

Ben and the team were fantastic - very welcoming and caring, and did a wonderful job with my dad's memorial. We wanted the granite and design to match our adjacent family grave, and they achieved this brilliantly. It's great to see that the work is still done on site, and the traditional skills and heritage are being passed on. Ben kindly showed me the workshop which was fascinating. The whole place is cosy and unpretentious, including an office cat. Highly recommended.
