Ancient civilisations relied heavily on the stonemason to build their most impressive and enduring cultural monuments. The Egyptians built the pyramids, the Persians their palaces, the Greeks their temples and the Romans their public works and wonders.
Durable materials are vital in headstone production, upholding memories for generations. Granite, marble, and sandstone offer longevity, enduring weather and erosion. They preserve the integrity of memorials, ensuring lasting tributes that connect future generations to their heritage.
Durable materials provide true permanence, allowing future generations to connect with their ancestors and understand their heritage. By selecting enduring materials, we honour the lives and legacies of those who have passed and create lasting tributes that transcend time.

Granite is the oldest igneous rock in the world, believed to have been formed as long as 100 million years ago. Granite is also what is called a “plutonic” rock meaning that it forms deep underground. Granite is the main component that makes up the earth’s continental crust. Granite is one of the hardest substances in the world, second only to diamonds. Granite meets all the requirements of permanence, enduring colour and texture, and complete freedom from deterioration and maintenance. Granite comes in many different colours and is quarried all over the world.
Comprised mainly of sand-size mineral or rock grains, most sandstone is composed of quartz and feldspar – two of the most common minerals in the earth’s crust.
