What are the benefits of using granite for headstones?

It’s no surprise that granite is such a popular choice for headstones:

• Granite is incredibly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions
• It’s a versatile stone with many colours and finishes available
• Designs and lettering etched onto granite won’t fade
• Granite is a traditional material for headstones
• Honed granite is allowed in most churchyards

What colours are available?

You can order our designs in many different materials, the most popular being Black or Grey Granite. Some Cemeteries and Graveyards have restrictions on which materials can be used, this is something we would clarify before you place an order. Please see our Materials & Finishes page for colour swatches and more details.

Photo plaque images - how do I send them to you?

The photograph you choose should be clear and preferably of a high print quality. We can remove backgrounds and other people from the photo if necessary. Try to choose a photo which is not blurred or damaged in any way.

Consider whether the photo would best suit a landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) photo plaque. In some cases your choice is restricted by the size/shape of your stone and the quantity of inscription text, if you are unsure please contact our staff and they will advise you.
