Services
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.
We are often asked how much headstones and memorials cost but we can only put an accurate quotation together once we know all the relevant details about the memorial; the stone type, it's size, amount of writing, method of inscription and any other additions such as photo-plaques etc. Wherever possible our headstones are supplied as monoliths and all our memorials are bespoke.
The marvelous faculty of writing has led various races to attribute its origin to the gods. Assyrian, Egyptian, Chinese, Indian, and Scandinavian deities have all been held to have given man knowledge of writing. The very beginnings of our writing are now thought to be indicated by the pictures made by prehistoric man whose artistic skill is evident in caves in Spain and France dating between 20,000 and 35,000 BC.
Headstones and memorials are an important way of marking the final resting place of our loved ones. They are a tribute to the unique essence and quality of a person and are a lasting symbol of remembrance. At Stonewriters we aim to guide our clients through the often difficult process of creating a fitting memorial for their loved one with unhurried empathy and professionalism.
We will create a design with you and can advise on the elements acceptable to the relevant authority. Items to be considered will be the stone type, shape, size, wording and lettering style. A quotation for the memorial will be provided after it has been designed. A permit from the relevant authority is always required before a memorial may be installed.

Report
We were so fortunate to find Stonewriters and can't recommend Nigel and Sue highly enough - they were kind, helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. The headstone itself is beautifully inscribed and is a fitting tribute to my father. The tenth anniversary was last month and we have long noted that our headstone stands out as one of the only upright stones in the graveyard. It seems that most people are guided by funeral directors and end up with a sloppy, half-hearted attempt that tips over in no time at all.
