Protect it for the years ahead.

A memorial is made to last, but years of weather, UV exposure and the elements can gradually take their toll on its appearance.


Our specialist Headstone Protection System provides an additional layer of protection, helping to preserve MMIT imagery, lettering, painted details, etching and suitable memorial finishes against continued exposure to the elements.


Because creating something special is only half the job. We want to help keep it that way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Headstones

Do you supply headstones across the UK?

We work with families across the UK. Contact us with the burial ground details and the memorial you are interested in and we can advise you on the options available.

Do I need permission from the cemetery before installing a headstone?

In most cemeteries and churchyards, permission is required before a new memorial can be installed. Rules vary between burial grounds, so the memorial must meet the regulations for the particular cemetery or churchyard.

Timescales depend on the memorial, the level of personalisation and any cemetery approval required. We will explain the expected timescale when your memorial is ordered and keep you updated throughout the process.

Yes. You do not need to arrive with a finished design. Tell us about the person, share any photographs or ideas you have and our design team can help turn those memories into a memorial.
