Here is a selection of memorials we have made and installed in church yards and cemeteries in Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and beyond.  Most of these are traditional monolith type headstones which are beautiful in their simplicity and strength but if you'd like our help with something you have in mind, or see something here that 'speaks to you' please do just give us a call on 01787 274791 (or email us at enquiries@stonewriters.co.uk).   We have attempted to keep our website as simple as possible; Please bear in mind we are only showing a small example of our work.

 

If you want to become more familiar with some of the terms used when describing memorials and their component parts please take a look at our page called Terminology.  For help with ideas for wording we have a page called Thoughtful Wording and if you would like more information about the process involved in commissioning a headstone please see our page called The Memorial Buying Process
