Ornamentation
From a familiar flower or treasured pastime to a portrait created from your own photograph, the right image can make a memorial unmistakably personal.
A personal mark of remembrance
Something meaningful, beautifully made
Ornamentation can express what words alone cannot: a favourite flower, a much-loved animal, a faith, a hobby, or a place filled with memories. The collections below offer inspiration rather than a limit on what can be created.
Designs may be incised into the stone and finished in gilding, a contrasting colour, or carefully chosen multiple colours. We will help match the treatment to the stone and the character of the memorial.
Bespoke hand-shaded artwork
Created from the memories you share
Our artists can work from a suitable photograph to recreate a personal subject in stone. Each piece is considered individually so that its form, shading and scale sit naturally within the memorial.
Only a small selection is shown here. Polished stone can be difficult to photograph without reflections, and every commissioned design is unique to the image and memorial it was created for.
