GHS417 Monolith Headstone with Swan Carving Westmoreland Green Slate

This beautiful slate headstone features a relief-carved swan design and keyline.

Westmoreland Green Slate is an extremely high quality material which is the product of the last remaining working slate mine in England.  Every memorial is individually hand-made giving you quite literally, “a slice of the Lake District”.  Also known as Honister Green Slate, it is revered for its durability, texture, density, longevity and colour.  Quite simply, it is regarded by many in the industry as the finest masonry stone in the world.

This style of carving on slate falls into the “specialist/artist carving” category and is consequently more expensive than most others.  The carving can be changed to one that is appropriate to the deceased and will be priced on application.  The letters shown are “cut-only” and therefore left without any kind of paint finish.

The size of this memorial is 3’0” high x 1’6” wide x 2” thick (above ground).  It is a Monolith Style of headstone, fixed directly into the ground.
