Handcrafted Memorials:
A Touch of Love
Our relettering service breathes new life into lasting messages of love and remembrance.
New Vault Builds
We construct to meet each client’s unique needs, offering custom shapes and designs. Our team provides detailed CAD drawings and supports clients every step of the way, ensuring a seamless process during what can be a challenging time for families.
We offer a range of finishes, including brickface, render, and the most popular choice, Natural stone.
Mausoleum Builds
This process is similar to vault construction but on a much larger scale. We typically collaborate with cemeteries for this type of work. However, families also have the option to purchase multiple plots and build a private family mausoleum or vault, as some have done in the past.
Vault Restorations
Every project is unique. Below are some of the services we provide:
- Waterproofing to prevent water leaks.
- Replacing cracked or damaged stone.
- Upgrading existing vaults with a granite façade to enhance their appearance, replacing the original concrete or pebblecrete finish.
- Removing outdated bronze doors and installing modern alternatives, including frameless, aluminium, steel, bronze, glass, or frosted glass doors, tailored to the client’s preference.
Letterings
We apply a stencil to the designated area, and once the client approves the final design, we proceed with sandblasting. The client can then choose their preferred finish, whether it be 23-carat gold leaf, a natural finish, or enamel paint in any colour.
Cleaning
We use a high-powered pressure Gerni to thoroughly clean affected areas, including floors, roofs, and walls. This method is effective for removing mould, grime, and dirt buildup.
Waterproofing
We begin by pressure washing the affected area and allowing it to dry completely. Using a moisture reader, we ensure all moisture has evaporated before proceeding with the application process, which consists of three steps:
- Primer
- Membrane
- Top coat
Each layer must dry fully, typically requiring 24 hours between applications.
Accessories & Enhancements
- Bronze accessories – Including flower vases, lamps, and statues.
- Religious statues – Available in porcelain, bronze, or marble, with options ranging from angels and saints to Jesus and Mary.
- Photo ceramics & frames – Available in various shapes and sizes to suit individual preferences.

Absolutely. We offer fully customisable designs to suit individual preferences, including size, shape, materials, finishes, and accessories. Whether you require a personal family mausoleum, a granite finish, or specific architectural elements, we work closely with you to create a structure that honours your loved ones.
What is the difference between incised and raised inscriptions?
An incised inscription is where the lettering is carved into the stone’s surface, creating a recessed effect. This style gives a clean, classic, and understated appearance.
In contrast, a raised inscription is where the background is carved away, leaving the lettering raised above the surface. This technique creates a bold and prominent look, making the inscription stand out more visibly, even from a distance.
How long should you wait before placing a memorial on a grave?
It is generally advised to wait at least 6 to 12 months before installing a memorial on a grave. This allows time for the ground to settle after burial, reducing the risk of the memorial shifting or tilting later.
However, cemetery regulations can vary, so it’s best to check with the cemetery office to confirm their specific requirements before making arrangements.
