A third-generation family of stonemasons, serving Ayrshire families for over 30 years. We guide you through every step — so you can focus on treasured memories that will last forever.
Ayrshire Memorials was founded over 30 years ago, and today our third generation of stonemasons continues that same quiet commitment to craft and care. We are not a factory or a catalogue — we are a family, and we treat every family we serve as our own.
"We understand that every memorial we create is different, just as every person is unique. We are here to help you find the right way to remember."
With six craftspeople working entirely in-house, we oversee every stage ourselves — from your first phone call, through design and carving, to installation at the cemetery. We handle all the paperwork and cemetery liaison so you never have to.
Get in touchFor most families, this is the first time they've needed a memorial. Here is how we guide you through.
Call or email us. There's no pressure, no hard sell. We'll listen, answer your questions, and begin to understand what would feel right for your loved one.
We'll create a personalised design for your approval — choosing stone, shape, inscription, and any imagery. You won't be rushed, and nothing proceeds without your sign-off.
Our stonemasons craft your memorial with the same care and precision that has defined this family for over 30 years. All work is done in-house, in Ayrshire.
We manage all cemetery permissions and paperwork, then install the memorial on your behalf. You are welcome to be present for the installation.
Every memorial we create is unique. Call us to discuss your vision.

"The service was beyond all expections. Went through everything, showing diagrams in different colours on the computer. Kept in touch throughout the polishing and engraving of the stone to the erection of it . Over the moon with this company and would highly recommend them to anyone."
"Thanks to Graeme for all his help and support at such a difficult time. Graeme kept us up to date throughout the whole process as well as making sure that the stone was worded perfectly. The work from Ayrshire Memorials is outstanding and we are over the moon with the final product. We 100% recommend Ayrshire Memorials for anyone looking for a headstone as their work is phenomenal and their service is amazing making the whole process so much easier."
