Memorial Headstones & Masons in Belfast

As well as funeral directors, we are memorial masons — designing, crafting and installing headstones and memorials that honour your loved one for generations to come.

A memorial is a lasting place to remember, to visit, and to feel close to the person you love. We will help you choose something that feels right — in your own time, with no pressure — and we take care of every detail, including the permissions almost every cemetery and churchyard requires.

Designing your memorial

From classic headstones to bespoke designs, in a range of granites, shapes and finishes, we will guide you through the choices and create something personal and beautiful. You can even begin online with our memorial designer, then we refine it together.

Additional inscriptions

When a further name needs to be added to an existing memorial, we carry out additional inscriptions carefully and sympathetically, matching the existing lettering so the memorial remains in keeping.

Cleaning and renovation

Over the years, memorials can weather, lean or fade. We clean, restore and re-fix headstones, and re-gild or repaint lettering, bringing a cherished memorial back to its best.

We arrange the permissions

Almost every cemetery and churchyard requires permission before a memorial can be placed or altered. We take care of that for you, so there is one less thing to worry about.

Common questions

How long after a funeral can a headstone be placed?

For a new grave, the ground usually needs several months to settle before a memorial can be safely fixed. We will advise you on the right time for your loved one’s grave.

Do you add inscriptions to an existing headstone?

Yes. We carry out additional inscriptions, carefully matching the existing lettering and style.

Can you clean or repair an old memorial?

Yes. We clean, restore, re-fix and re-letter memorials, including older family graves.

Do we need permission for a headstone?

Almost always, yes — and we arrange the necessary permission from the cemetery or church on your behalf.
