Explore Bristol's history through its beautiful cemeteries. Greenbank Cemetery was the first large cemetery after Arnos Vale to be opened in Bristol during the 1800s and among its avenues of trees and impressive angel statues can be found memorials to the civilians who died during the Bristol Blitz.

Bristol & West Memorials designed and created this beautiful red granite memorial at Filton Cemetery for a local family. This is their reaction:

"The last thing we can do for our departed loved ones is to remember them. That's why my family and I wanted a lasting memorial to show how much we loved and missed our Mum & Dad.

When I visited the memorial the other day, I felt happy and very proud. Not the first emotions you might expect, but through your skill, attention to detail and determined efforts, my family can now smile whenever we visit our parents' place of rest.

It really struck me how well you listened to my brother and me during our first meeting with you. Within just a few minutes, you captured the essence of our family's story in a 'resting hearts' design. We loved it straightaway and so did our sisters.

So far, people's first words about the memorial have included "wow" - lots of "wows" - "beautiful" and "I want one like that!".

I just wanted to thank you again for inspiring us with ideas and turning them into reality. The memorial is stunning!

With regards and much appreciation."
