Churchyard Memorials

We service a large number of Churches in Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. Different Dioceses have a variety of strict rules and regulations, we work closely with all of them to ensure we only supply and erect approved memorials.

Where to Start

The Process

Below are materials of Natural Stones and Honed Light Grey Granite; designs and carvings aimed to show what is most often approved in Churchyards.


Once the memorial has been selected we must submit an application form to the church.
