What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Memorial masonry, including new headstones, additional inscriptions and refurbishment of older stones, is the work that runs through these accounts from the Sheffield area. A handful of customers describe the care taken in explaining how a memorial is put together and how long the process will take, with progress reported at each stage so that families are not left wondering. David is named repeatedly for the sympathy and patience he shows while orders are placed, and his advice on stone and design is followed with confidence; James is likewise singled out as polite, thorough and helpful from first enquiry to installation.

The standard of the finished work draws consistent praise, whether a white marble headstone more than fifty years old that was removed, cleaned and re-lettered, a memorial returned to its former condition, or a new vase matched to an existing stone. Etched detail, such as a robin, is mentioned for its quality and the comfort it brings. Reviewers also note the calm, unhurried atmosphere in which choices are made, and the respect shown throughout.

We had a very good experience with this company when they removed my Dads heads stone to add further inscription when my Mum passed away . James who dealt with us throughout the process was very polite professional and helpful answering all our queries and questions and kept us informed throughout . We are more than pleased and would definitely recommend Freeman Daynes . The headstone is white marble and was over 50 years old and it was cleaned and polished and looked almost new once replaced. Thankyou to them for an exceptional job .

I used the Killamarsh office this is an excellent company they really went above and beyond to make the memorial I wanted although I wasn’t t sure what I wanted when I first walked in. The stonemasons even visited the site it was to be installed on and made suggestions as to how it could be done its perfect. Both David who took the original order & Julie in reception were really down to earth sensitive and approachable. Many thanks to everyone. Lynn Oades
