Quality Welsh Slate Headstones
Artisan Memorials is the leading supplier of finely crafted, bespoke slate headstones and gravestones in the UK. Over the years we have built up close ties with the major Welsh slate quarries and have unprecedented access to this precious and scarce material.
Slate is a durable, beautiful choice for any headstone, providing an incredibly smooth, finely-grained surface that allows for the most intricate engravings. It is available in a variety of darker shades – such as greys, blues, greens and purples, ensuring a timeless appearance that can be personalised to your preferences. Although slate can be a bit more expensive, it is exceptionally durable and won’t age or weather, maintaining its wonderful qualities.
Welsh Slate headstones are incredibly resistant to the elements, 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. Slate is also extremely robust and is available at either two or three inches thick, making it an ideal choice for those who favour a slender headstone. Here at Artisan Memorials, we supply a variety of slate options including:
- Welsh Grey/Blue from the Cwt y Bugail Quarry in Ffestiniog, North Wales
- Welsh Heather from the Penrhyn Quarry, near Bethesda, North Wales
- Welsh Hard Grey from the Penrhyn Quarry, near Bethesda, North Wales
