A memorial written in stone
Elegant open-book forms offering generous space for inscriptions, ornamentation and personal details across two beautifully balanced pages.
The open pages of a book memorial naturally create room for names, dates, epitaphs and meaningful ornamentation. The two-page form can commemorate one person, bring two inscriptions together or balance words with a personal design.

Arranging the open pages
Book memorials are especially flexible because the two pages can be treated separately or composed as one balanced design.
Use both pages for one longer tribute, or dedicate a page to each person while keeping the memorial visually connected.
Carved book details can define the centre of the memorial and create a natural division between the two inscription areas.
Rose carvings, personal imagery and flower containers can be incorporated to complement the words on the pages.
