Memorial stone with laser engraving 'Square'

When words alone aren't enough

A memorial stone is not simply an object. It is the place people return to when they miss someone. If you are looking for something that honors that person with quiet dignity, this is a choice you can make with confidence.

Black granite with laser engraving

The Square memorial stone is cut from black granite, one of the hardest and most enduring natural stones available. The surface is hand-polished to a deep, even gloss, which creates the ideal ground for laser engraving. With laser engraving, the image is burned directly into the stone. Because no ink, paint or coating is involved, the result is a sharp, detailed image that holds its clarity through all weather conditions and across the years.

Your photograph or your own design

You decide what appears on the stone. A portrait, a piece of text, a combination of both: all are possible. To ensure every detail reproduces clearly, please supply your image at a minimum resolution of 300 DPI. The design can reflect the bond you shared in whatever way feels right. A photograph of a place you visited together, for instance, can carry as much meaning as a portrait, and it brings recognition to everyone who shared those memories with you.

Approval before production

Once you have placed your order, we will send you a digital proof for your approval. This gives you the opportunity to check every detail of the design before production begins.

Practical things worth knowing before you order

Granite is a robust material built to last. Even so, installation requires preparation, and there are rules you will want to check before purchasing.

Always speak to your cemetery or burial authority first

Please note: before ordering, it is advisable to consult your cemetery manager or local authority about what is and is not permitted at your specific site. Many cemeteries have requirements governing the dimensions, materials and form of memorial stones, and some restrict installation to stonemasons based in the local area. Any concrete base or sub-foundation required beneath the stone will typically need to be arranged and installed by the cemetery itself. Taking these steps before you order will save time and avoid disappointment.
