Frequently Asked Questions
What types of memorials can Somerville Stone create?
We create a wide range of memorials, including cemetery headstones, book memorials, rustic headstones, children’s memorials, cremation memorial stones, kerb sets, heart memorials, pet memorials and multi-faith memorials. We can also produce bespoke designs based on your individual requirements.
Can you create a completely bespoke headstone?
Yes. We combine traditional stonemasonry skills with modern technology to create bespoke headstones and memorials. The stone, shape, size, finish, lettering and decorative elements can all be considered as part of the design.
What should I do if I cannot find the memorial style I want?
Please contact our team even if the style you have in mind is not displayed on the website. We have access to hundreds of memorial options and can source different stone types or create a memorial to your exact specifications.
Can you recreate a memorial design I have seen elsewhere?
Yes. You can show us a photograph or example of a memorial you have seen online, in a cemetery or in a churchyard. We can discuss how the design could be adapted to suit your preferences and any relevant burial ground regulations.
What materials are available for bespoke memorials?
We can source a range of natural stone materials for memorials. The most suitable options will depend on the design, desired appearance, location and any rules set by the cemetery or churchyard.
Can memorials include decorative carvings or engraved designs?
Yes. Decorative details can be added through traditional hand carving or modern CNC ornament engraving. These methods can be used to create floral motifs, symbols, illustrations and other meaningful design elements.
Can photographs be added to a memorial?
Yes. Memorial photo plaques can be incorporated into many headstone and memorial designs. A photograph can provide a personal focal point and help create a tribute that feels unique to the person being remembered.
Do you make memorials for different faiths?
Yes. We offer multi-faith memorials and can work with families to create a respectful design that reflects their beliefs, traditions and personal wishes. Any cemetery or burial ground requirements will also need to be considered.
Can you clean or restore an existing memorial?
Yes. Somerville Stone provides memorial cleaning, fixing and maintenance services. We can assess the condition of an existing memorial and advise on suitable work to improve its appearance, stability or legibility.
How do I start the process of choosing a memorial?
Contact our team to discuss the person being remembered, your preferred memorial style and any ideas you already have. We will explain the available options and help you make each decision with care, without rushing the process.
