If you’ve recently lost a loved one, you might find solace in this difficult time by focusing on ways to honour their memory, such as designing a custom headstone.

What is V-carving?
V-carving is a traditional, time-honoured method of engraving stone, thought to have been first pioneered by the Romans. Using a hammer and chisel, a stonemason will carefully carve the inscription directly into the stone’s surface, creating distinct, deep grooves.
A headstone or memorial stone is a fitting way to honour your loved one, ensuring their name and memory are commemorated for generations to come. This process starts with selecting the right stone, but with so many different materials to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
