What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Memorial masonry and natural stone work form the core of what Rodwell Memorials Ltd. produces, from new headstones to refurbishments and grave memorial cleaning. Customers repeatedly praise Mandy and Jordan for their clear communication, explaining quotes, permits and progress at each stage, and for the genuine sensitivity they bring when families are arranging a lasting tribute. Several reviews describe the workmanship as beautiful, with careful attention to detail, and mention that a job carried out by the stonemason Gavin resulted in a stone that looked as good as new.

Reviewers also note that inscriptions, additions to existing headstones and renovation of older graves were handled with the same care, and that the family-run nature of the business made the whole process feel personal. One point that comes up often is the reliability of the team, keeping in touch before and after the work and going beyond what was expected to resolve permit issues. The finished memorials, whether newly cut or restored, are described as looking fresh, dignified and fitting tributes.

Excellent service from Rodwells - Jordan in particular as I had most dealings with her. They really pulled out all the stops to get the memorial stone installed in time so that I could go and visit it when I was in London. It looks lovely. Happy to support a small business where you get a much more personal service. Thanks everyone.

Rodwell Memorials provided exceptional care and compassion when creating my dad’s headstone. During such a difficult time, they were kind, patient, and respectful, guiding us through every step. The workmanship is beautiful, and the attention to detail truly honors my dad’s memory. We are deeply grateful for their professionalism and support and would highly recommend them.

No works can explain the kindness and helpfulness that Rodwells gave us. The works they did went beyond I could have imagined, such an amazing job. Would recommend a thousand times over.

Very happy with Rodwell Memorials. Clear communication, explanation, quote and progress updates from Jordan. Fairly long wait for the stonemason to do the renovation work, but well worth it. (There’s a reason they’re busy!) Craftsmanship takes time and the final result makes my grandparent’s headstone look beautiful and loved again. Thank you

We were overwhelmed trying to create the right lasting memorial for our late Mother. The first stone masons were hard work. Every time we contacted them it felt like we were starting all over again. So we gave up, found Rodwell and we're so glad we did. We met Mandy within a week of contacting them for the first time, they were exactly what we needed. The stone was selected and deposit paid the same day. I'm not sure how many times we reviewed and edited the wording on the headstone or changed the installation date, but between Mandy and Jordan they exercised a lot of patience and held our hands through what was a very emotional experience. Nothing felt like too much and we cannot thank them enough for their time, help, support and advice. We now have the perfect stone. Thank you Rodwell.

I'm very happy with my experience with Rodwell Memorials. Jordan, Mandy and the whole team were amazing and very patient with me and my family. My Dad's headstone looks beautiful and it's a wonderful tribute to him.

I would like to share how Roswell memorials have treated me. 2 months ago I contacted them to get a project done for my son's headstone , I live in Liverpool and my son's grave is in London so the only contact I had was over the phone or email with Rodwell memorials. I paid them 200 pounds deposit to start the project , recently I have lost my mum and had to fund the funeral for her myself due to that I was in a position where I couldn't fund the headstone for my son anymore and all this was explained to them, I asked politely if they could refund me the 200 pounds as they still haven't started anything no work has been done or parts ordered for the headstone I wanted, they declined to refund me the money , 200 pounds right now is a lot of money. They said the 200 pounds went for parts towards the headstone and that's why they couldn't refund me , when I asked for proof of the parts they ordered they couldn't provide me with it and I did ask multiple times for the proof and never received it. I am very disappointed in the way they treated me in this situation. I know it's a long review but just wanted to share how they treated me in a situation that I couldn't foresee.
