Yes. Many memorial accessories can be personalised with lettering, photographs, borders or bespoke decorative designs. Our team can help you choose details that complement the main memorial and create a meaningful tribute.

Yes. Separate memorial vases can include personalised lettering, photographs, borders or a combination of these features. The available space and chosen vase design will determine how much detail can be included.

A mini book memorial is a smaller book-shaped tribute that can be positioned alongside or near the main memorial. It can include lettering, photographs, borders and bespoke designs, subject to the regulations of the cemetery or churchyard.

A mini heart memorial provides an additional space for a short inscription, photograph or decorative design. It can be used to complement an existing memorial or create a smaller standalone tribute where permitted.

A mini kerb set creates a defined area around part of the memorial and can be used to contain decorative stone chippings. Its smaller design may be acceptable in locations where a full traditional kerb set is not permitted.

A granite apron piece is similar in size to a mini kerb set but has a complete solid base. This means it does not require loose memorial chippings and can provide a neat, low-maintenance area for displaying flowers or additional tributes.

A splay-based memorial has a sloping display surface that provides additional room for wording, photographs or decorative details. It can be incorporated into a memorial design when more inscription or personalisation space is required.

The displayed selection includes green, black, white, turquoise, grey and cobalt chippings. This is not the complete range, so please contact us if you are looking for a particular colour to complement the memorial.

No. The accessories, chippings and additional memorial features that are allowed will depend on the regulations of the individual cemetery or churchyard. We can help you consider the relevant requirements before you choose or order any memorial extras.

Testimonials

We are so pleased with the beautiful black granite nameplate manufactured by Somerville Stone for our house. The service was exemplary. We asked for several changes and each time we were sent a new proof to review to ensure we were happy. The item was extremely well packaged and arrived very quickly after ordering. We also felt the price was extremely good for the exceptional quality of the item. I cannot praise this company highly enough and would order again without hesitation.

Darren and the team done such an amazing job on my sons headstone. Such a stressful part on making sure it was perfect and they made it happen. I completely recommend somerville.
Glen Archbold
What a brilliant company. Wish all companies had the same work ethic. Darren in particular stood out. He and his team came up with a beautiful stone plaque design as a gift for a boarding school house. The logo was very intricate and stunningly engraved. The first one they did they were unhappy with themselves and knew they could do better!!! Wow, the second one which was gifted just was stunning. The Housemistress was so grateful for the beautiful plaque that will remind her of the 2024 Leavers. Massive 2 thumbs up!!!

Annie Lloyd
I cannot recommend Somerville enough; Charley and Darren went above and beyond my expectations. Charley put my mind at rest from my very first conversation. Charley professionalism was outstanding Darren, my words of gratitude will never be enough, in a very difficult situation Darren advised me every step of the way, even down to doing a mock-up of the stone. Making a vase and helping me choose the engraving for the edging. Nothing was too much trouble. Darren thank you again for doing the placement of my husband stone in time for Christmas so my family from Australia were able to see it.
