Our full range of services
Every memorial we create is bespoke. We work with you to create something that truly reflects your loved one; their character, their faith, their passions. Every detail can be designed to your specification.
Our craftspeople produce every piece in-house at our Ayrshire workshop. We handle all cemetery liaison and installation on your behalf.
- Traditional headstones in any stone or finish
- Contemporary and minimalist designs
- Celtic crosses and ornate carved memorials
- Vases, tablets and garden stones
- Kerb sets and full ledger memorials
- Children's and infant memorials, handled with particular care
When a further family member is interred, or when a stone needs updating, we can add new inscriptions that match the existing lettering style, font, and finish, so that the memorial remains cohesive.
We are experienced in matching lettering on older stones where the original craftsperson's style must be respected and replicated faithfully.
- Hand-cut V-section lettering
- Laser-cut and sandblasted lettering
- Gold leaf and painted fill
- Matching of existing letter styles on older memorials
- Poems, verses, emblems and motifs
Exposure to the Scottish climate takes its toll on even the finest stone. Lichen, moss, algae and general weathering can make a memorial difficult to read and less dignified than it deserves to be.
Our professional cleaning process uses specialist stone-safe products that remove biological growth and weathering without damaging the stone's surface. We can also re-gild lettering that has faded.
- Safe biological cleaning of granite, limestone and sandstone
- Lichen and moss removal
- Re-gilding and repainting of inscriptions
- Before-and-after photographic record provided
Headstones that have become unstable, leaned, or have been pushed over represent both a safety concern and a source of distress for families. Cemeteries carry out regular safety inspections and will lay down memorials they consider a risk.
We assess, re-fix and repair to current cemetery health and safety guidelines and to the NAMM Code of Working Practice, ensuring stability without compromising the stone's appearance. We can also work with families whose stones have been laid down by the cemetery to have them reinstated correctly.
- Structural assessment and stability report
- Re-bedding and re-fixing to cemetery standards
- Repair of cracks, chips and breaks
- Reinstatement of laid-down memorials
- Full liaison with cemetery authorities
A memorial represents a significant investment, not just financial, but more importantly emotional. Our specialist memorial insurance protects against the events that cannot be predicted.
We can advise on appropriate cover and arrange a policy at the time of commission or at any point thereafter.
- Accidental damage cover
- Vandalism and malicious damage
- Storm and weather damage
- Subsidence and ground movement
Produced to the same standard as our memorial work, our granite house name and number plaques are designed to last a lifetime and suit any property, from a new build to a traditional stone cottage.
- Any stone colour or finish
- Hand or laser cut lettering
- Custom shapes and sizes
- Number, name, or both
- Optional motifs and decorative borders
A photograph added directly to granite creates a portrait that will last as long as the stone itself. We can add a photograph to a new memorial or to an existing headstone, and our in-house digital team will enhance, restore or retouch any image to the standard required. Even an old, faded or low-resolution photograph can produce a beautiful result.
- A durable, weather-resistant porcelain portrait; preserving your loved one's image with clarity and detail
- Can be added to new or existing memorials
- In-house photograph enhancement and digital restoration
- Portraits, landscapes, pets, logos or any image you wish
- Black and white or colour-toned finishes
- Any size, precisely positioned on the stone
We can now handle the entire process in-house. You choose and provide the photograph you would like to use, we do the rest and show you for approval.

Scanning it with any smartphone opens a private digital memorial page where the family can share photographs, life stories, tributes and memories that are curated entirely by them, and updated whenever they wish.
- QR code laser-engraved into the stone which is permanent and weather-proof
- Links to a private, family-managed digital memorial page
- Upload photos, videos, stories, dates and tributes
- Can be added to a new memorial or an existing headstone
- No app required, any smartphone camera will scan the code and load the digital content
Some companies offer stick-on QR tags. We don't because tags fade, peel and can be removed. An engraved QR code will be readable for as long as the stone stands.
