Quality Headstones Crafted with Skill and Care

Choosing a headstone for someone is a big decision.  There are many types available made with different materials and in different styles.  Headstones can contain a range of information or be very simple.  If you are looking to find the right headstone for someone you love and are in the Poole area, then The Art Memorial Company would be proud to help.

Bespoke headstone design

Ours is a bespoke headstone design where we can ensure you get the headstone that best suits the person.  Headstones are a way to mirror the taste of the deceased and to commemorate their life.  There are many different styles and we can help you look at them to see which would best be suited for the person in question.

Upright headstones are a traditional style that are often made from granite, limestone or marble and fixed with a concrete base to keep them in place.  Flat headstones are either flush with the ground or slightly raised at the top and can be made from various materials.  Kerbed headstones or memorials are full length that are combined with an upright marker and create larger space for personalised expression.  All styles can come in a variety of materials including  granite, which has over 30 colours available, and is highly polished and maintenance free.

Headstone Inscriptions

The other main decision is what should the inscription on the headstone say.  Some people like to keep it simple while others want to tell the person’s story in a short verse, a paragraph or in other ways.  We can help you make a choice about what the headstone should contain so that everyone visiting it will feel that connection to the deceased.
