| Dog Cat and Pet HeadstonesWe understand the loss of a pet often feels acutely sad and many owners want to mark their pets passing in a meaningful way. We create unique, personalised memorials and headstones for all types of pet. Our memorials are each custom made and cooperatively designed to serve as an individual reminder of time with a special pet. Some stones are for pet cemeteries, others for placing in a poignant location.Personalised DesignAt Stone Essentials, we concentrate on designing and making unique, custom designed stones by working closely with our customers to help them create their own personal memorial to their pet dog, cat, bird, horse or other animal.Natural StoneAll our stonemasonry, cutting, engraving, inscribing and polishing is with high quality natural stone, we never use artificial, reconstituted, or cheap substitutes. From our large and varied stocks of available stone we introduce customers to the most appropriate and affordable stone to meet their design needs.Anything is PossibleWe make many types of memorial and headstone, including:
Home Burials and the Scattering of AshesMany bereaved pet owners contact us having conducted a home burial or with cremated ashes to scatter in a poignant place such as along a well-trodden walk or within their own garden. Wherever the final resting place, an attractive, well made stone marker, memorial or headstone will provide a natural and lasting focus for commemorating a much loved pet. We understand the importance of meeting individual requirements in stone design and creation and have the expertise to create a stone fit for purpose.As skilled stonemasons we take the natural beauty of stone and develop it into something personal, so it blends naturally into a garden or stands as a marker in a different setting. Our memorials will look appealing when set in the position they were intended, be it a sunny corner, a rockery or flower bed, at the base of a shade tree, or shallow water. Whatever the situation, we help design the gravestone or memorial to individual preference and we introduce appropriate options from which to choose. We are very experienced in finding the appropriate size, shape, colour, texture and finish for a beautifully balanced memorial. Into each stone, we engrave or cut in relief (upstanding) the personal message in beautifully precise letters in the agreed font. Many stones are finished with a small hand carved engraving to customise it as a unique memorial. Pet CemeteriesWe often make headstones and markers to use in customers' local pet cemeteries. Many allow personalised stones, and our advice is to check that the cemetery will accept bespoke headstones and markers (sometimes they prefer uniformity from a standardised range). If in doubt we are usually happy to make local enquiries UK wide on behalf of potential clients, in the event of disappointment, we can suggest a range of personalised memorials to keep elsewhere.High Quality StoneWe have access to a wide variety of sawn stone, including Sandstone, Limestone, Yorkstone, Granite and Marble, plus a large range of rustic shapes including boulders and smaller interesting stones. | ||||||||||||||||||
