Sandstone Heasdstones: Natural, rugged headstones with lots of character.
Available across the UK
Naturally Rugged Sandstone Headstones
Our handcrafted sandstone headstones, particularly those made from Yorkshire sandstone or York stone, showcase the finest qualities of locally quarried materials. These traditional memorials offer a natural aesthetic that’s perfectly suited to British churchyards, while the stone’s exceptional durability ensures your tribute will endure for generations to come.
With its warm, earthy tones and timeless appearance, Yorkshire sandstone has been used for centuries in churchyards and cemeteries throughout the UK.
Yorkshire Sandstone has a more grainy texture than Nabresina or Slate and so lends itself well to bolder inscriptions and sans-serif lettering, but our experienced stonemason can talk you through the process and help you choose the right design.
Although sandstone will age, it does so in a very natural way. Over time, a rich, dark patina can develop that looks organic and blends well with the surrounding environment.
Yorkshire sandstone tends to be a yellowy-brown colour, but you also might find grey, too. In either case, you will find that the stone gets darker as it weathers.
If you are interested in sandstone and think that it would make a fitting material for a tribute to a loved one, we can help. Our expert stonemason has been creating sandstone gravestones and sandstone plaques for decades, meaning that we have all the expertise and knowledge to create a beautiful memorial.
