All our memorials are finished to an extremely high standard and we supply a wide range of stone including granite, marble, limestone, sandstone and slate for headstones, gravestones and War Memorials to be installed in churchyards and cemeteries across the south east.

Our range includes an enormous variety of designs in stone and lettering as well as intricate carving from simple tablets to complex classical designs.  We supply a selection of add-ons from specialist carving and etching to photo plaques, bronze insignia and flower vases – everything you need to complete your perfect memorial.

Burslem are specialists in the repair, renovation and cleaning of memorials and can offer competitive estimates for a wide range of work including adding to or refurbishing inscribed lettering, rebuilding and adding an inscription to a memorial.

We are very proud of our heritage of producing and maintaining War Memorials and public monuments.
