Grey & Green Cumbrian Slate Headstones
Our expertly crafted Cumbrian slate headstones represent the finest in British memorial artistry. As leading headstone and gravestone suppliers across the UK, we’ve established strong relationships with major Lake District quarries, ensuring privileged access to this precious and increasingly scarce material for our memorial designs.
Cumbrian slate is a durable, beautiful choice for any headstone, providing an incredibly smooth, finely-grained surface that allows for the most intricate engravings. It’s available in a variety of blue/grey and green shades. It can be slightly more expensive, but it is exceptionally durable and won’t age or weather, maintaining its beautiful qualities over time.
These headstones and gravestones are incredibly weather resistant and have a lower water absorption rate than other options – a factor that you may consider if the memorial will be located in a very shaded or damp environment. Cumbrian slate is also extremely robust and strong, and is available at either two or three inches thick, making it an ideal choice for those who favour a slightly thinner headstone. Here at Artisan Memorials, we supply a variety of Cumbrian slate options including:
- Cumbrian Grey from the Kirkby Moor Quarry near the village of Kirkby-in-Furnes, Cumbria
- Westmoreland Green from the Honister Slate Mine in Keswick, Cumbria.
- Broughton Moor from the Broughton Moor Quarry, Coniston, Broughton-in-Furness.
