Granite Memorials & Plaques
Granite is an exceptionally durable and beautiful natural stone, renowned for its stunning appearance when polished to a high shine. It is perfect for creating long-lasting memorials and plaques that stand the test of time
We offer granite in four thicknesses: 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, and 30mm, available in a selection of ten elegant colors. Each piece can be custom-made to your exact specifications.
The 30mm granite will have the top and sides polished, whereas on the thinner granite memorials the sides will be cut and honed. These look particularly attractive with a sandblasted edge border. The Celtic grey granite can also have the whole surface blasted for a natural matt finish.
It is important to us, to make your granite memorial just the way you want it.

Sandblasting for a Honed Finish
To achieve the matt, honed finish required by some churchyards, we can sandblast the gloss off granite memorial tables. This process removes the polished surface, resulting in a more subdued appearance. The Amber White Granite looks particularly effective good if using this process.
Algae Growth - It is important to understand that sandblasted, or honed finished granite, while producing the desired matt finish, can be more susceptible to algae growth. The increased surface area of a honed finish provides more places for moisture and organic matter to reside, creating an ideal environment for algea to grow. Regular cleaning is therefore recommended to maintain the memorials appearance.
