It is important to take your time when deciding on the design of a hand carved memorial or headstone. You need to reflect on the life of the person and will need space and time to think and decide on what you would like. Nothing should be rushed.
Hand carved memorials and headstones are unique and no two designs are the same. It is a slow and meticulous process which allows variation and choice compared to the mass market machined and templated memorials and headstones on offer.

I will guide you slowly through the process of deciding what you would like such as looking at words and epitaphs, fonts, type of stone and colour, size and sometimes reliefs. Keep things simple as this will have more impact.
Some people decide to have a high raised or sunken relief or a simple lined drawing such as a flower or plant, a symbol, a crest, or religious icon. Some chose a poem or a quotation which makes it more personal.
Every headstone and memorial is made by hand starting with the design. The stone is then masoned and the design is drawn out by hand and later carved. The process is thoughtful and unique and the client is involved throughout with regular discussions and updates.
