1947 saw the third generation operating shops in Durham City, Houghton-le-Spring, Middlesbrough and Spennymoor, as well as the original Chester le Street branch. In 1964 a new factory site was acquired to allow for future growth in production and in 2004 the adjacent coal yard was purchased, giving North East Granite Co its current 3 acre factory and distribution centre in Langley Moor Durham.
In 1993 The current managing director Mr George Smith added focus to the wholesale market, continuing to grow the company's client base in the headstone and funeralcare markets whilst maintaining a retail presence.

All the memorials displayed on this website have been designed and carved in a family business with six generations of experience based in the North East of England. A memorial from us will be handled by craftsmen trained and adhering to the best national industry standards as set down by the National Association of Monumental Masons.
Working with a huge range of materials from Granites to Marble and Sandstone, North East Granite Ltd can manufacture, supply and Install a great variety of products, everything from Memorial stones to Garden furniture, Kitchen surfaces to Town Centre redevelopments. We have maintained the capability to manufacture headstones and other stone, marble and granite artefacts in our factory on the outskirts of Durham City.
Our ability to manufacture bespoke items has lead to a variety of commissions from public bodies and architects, where the durability of materials, such as granite, adds value and interest to communal areas with the added bonus of being very low maintenance. Often a higher initial cost is outweighed by the longevity of a material that can be as diverse in colour as it can be in form.
A note of thanks for your help with the headstone. We're really pleased with its quality and finish, so grateful thanks to all concerned in its production. We're delighted with the service we have received. Dear Gillian, Thank you so much for all the advice and support you have given me with my parents' headstone.
