A standard size stone is a headstone 27” x 21” x 3”, set on a 3” high base. A standard monolith is 30” tall out of the ground, with extra stone set into the ground for stability.
Where local regulations allow, sizes can be changed to suit individual taste, or to fit the required wording. Please see the churchyard and cemeteries page for more information on regulations.

This design uses a wider base to
make room for a stone vase.

This stone has holes
bored into the base.

Etching
Suitable mainly for dark granites, especially black. Etching removes the dark, polished face to reveal the grey, cut stone underneath.
Etchings may be painted to enhance contrast, or to give more colour, but this paint will weather over time. Prices start from around £70 + VAT.

Relief Carving
Usually made in softer stones than granite, relief carvings allow more subtlety and beauty of design.
They will generally be drawn in consultation with the client, and then carved by hand. These are priced on an individual basis.

Outline Designs
A simple outline design can be graceful and effective. It will usually be painted, gilded or leaded to contrast with the stone colour.
Prices start from around £30 + VAT.
