Offley Memorials
We pride ourselves on our personal and unrivalled client care where you can be assured of our compassionate, helpful and attentive consideration at all times. From initial ideas through to the meticulous final placement of your memorial, we guarantee you peace of mind as we advise and guide you through each and every phase. With 40 years' experience in the workshop, we skillfully combine both traditional craftsmanship with contemporary working techniques.
Services
The business that has become Offley Memorials Ltd began in 1978 when Nicholas Prutton began learning his trade as a memorial mason. After gaining much experience and furthering his knowledge, he set out forming his own business in 1989 from outbuildings in his garden in the picturesque village of Offley, Hertfordshire.
Although our website showcases a portfolio of the most popular memorials, the choice of material and design is almost endless and it would be impractical to feature all possible combinations. So if you have something in mind that isn't shown here or that you have seen elsewhere, please let us know.
We are all pet owners at Offley Memorials and our animals have all in their own way, stolen our hearts and have very much become a part of our family. We understand that it is never easy to experience the loss of a beloved companion. In fact, it can be devastating. This is why we have included Pet Memorials within our product range as, like us, you may find that preserving their memory in a lasting stone tribute is of great comfort.
We use only the finest quality, responsibly sourced, natural stone at Offley Memorials, examples of which are highlighted within this section. Each of these materials has individual characteristics which are important to know before making your choice. We can offer guidance on the various stone alternatives, their suitability to your needs as well as advising you of those permitted by the burial authorities local to your cemetery or churchyard.
Granite is the most durable stone we use and is most suited to the British weather. It comes in many colours including black, red, blue, light and dark grey and other more unusual multicolours. Polishing brings out the true beauty and deep colour of the stone and is commonly used in cemeteries. When used in most churchyards, it is usually stipulated that granite must have an eggshell or honed, non-reective nish.

The empathy and consideration given by Offley Memorials during a very emotional time.e of our lives was much appreciated. Their quality of product and service had no boundaries. We are all so glad we selected them to reunite my Mother and Father after 46 years apart. Thank you

Offley memorials were so helpful organising our tribute to mum. When we were distressed and needed someone to guide us with a lasting tribute they were there to help. We are so pleased with the tribute and recommend their services so highly. Thanks you so very much.

I tend to a grave where the headstone had become unsafe over the years - by chance the Offley Memorials team were working on another job and I approached them - they were fabulous. Took my details, contacted me, gave me a price and did the job, all within a week. Because of this service I had no qualms about asking them to do other works for me on the grave following the passing of the grave owner - this included removing the headstone, refreshing the lettering and reinstating with additional verse........all done very professionally and with courtesy & respect .......

What a very kind, caring & professional memorial company to deal with! Hayley is a credit to this company, she was compassionate and sympathetic throughout my dealings with Offley. I cannot recommend Offley enough. My Dads headstone was exactly as I'd described and beautifully created and engraved. The whole 'procedure' was fully explained and… everything was completed in the timescale quoted. My dad's headstone is the only one that has not gone lopsided.....something I was concerned might happen. OFFLEY MEMORIALS are total professionals from first to last contact. What a credit they

Billy and the team have done a house sign and gift for a friend for me now. The quality is great and the detail in the carvings is top notch! Great service from start to finish. I’ll definitely be using them again.

I contacted Hayley at Offley Memorials to get information about my husband’s headstone, from my first contact I felt in good hands.
I dealt with all the family while my order was being processed and installed, every step of the way they looked after me with kindness and they totally understood the pressures I felt.
Hayley was patient and reassuring.
I’d like to thank them by recommending them a great family business.
Thank you Kim

I would like to share these, before and after, images of a recent grave site restoration carried out by Offley Memorials Ltd.
From my first contact with Hayley through to the completion of the restoration, the service I received was even better than could be expected.
Very friendly, very informative and understanding.
I would like to thank the whole team, whom despite having the bad weather against them, managed to complete the restoration in good time and to a very high standard.
Happy to recommend to others.
G. Stinton.

We are both very happy with Offley Memorials and the friendly and understanding attitude of their representative. At a very difficult and emotional, grief stricken time, they made us feel we had all the time in the world to work out all the details. They treated us like human beings not just customers.

Fantastic job on the restoration of the memorial tablet we have for our relatives. The service offered was first class with Hayley keeping us fully informed at all stages of the work and the speed of turnaround was phenomenal. Really pleased with everything from start to finish - thank you. Not only would we use them again but also recommend them to anybody else looking for the type of services they offer.

From the very first contact made to our dear mum's headstone being put in place the team are amazing, they provide guidance, support, knowledge in such a kind and caring way. They don't feel like a business they feel like a team of support through a very difficult period in your life. Couldn't recommend them enough - thank you for making our experience such a positive one, thanks for your patience in us making a decision, thanks for your guidance on choice and wording. thank you thank you thank you

I can’t thank offley memorials enough, a huge ray of light in my darkness. Hayley contacted me and offered to do a plaque for my sons school, after we lost him suddenly. She went above and beyond to make the plaque so special. Amazing company who I will be recommending to everyone. X

Excellent efficient service, polite communication and quality work. I live outside the county and so ordered two small pet memorials to be delivered by post. I was kept informed throughout the process as to the stage my order was at as well as receiving notification when they were ready to post out. On arrival I found them to be packed carefully and safely in protective wrapping to avoid any damage in transit and am very pleased with my items. Would certainly recommend this company
