Mackay's Memorial Headstones

💙🩵💙🩵💙

From the middle of November, shops, media and advertising collude to convince us that Christmas is magical, full of joy and fulfilment. Cares are banished and laughing children reinforce the message that sadness and anxiety have no place in the festivities.

But what if bereavement means that sorrow is the overwhelming emotion felt at Christmas? The Christmas season is hard for those whose hearts are hurting. You are not alone.

Blue Christmas is a gentle, contemplative service for those who are carrying pain or loss during this season of celebration. We invite you to join us for a time of quiet reflection in the midst of the busyness of the Christmas season.

Never too old, never too young to learn something new. Granda & our daughter tagged along yesterday. School holidays in Highland so thought it was time for our Bee to start earning her keep! 😉

Thank you to Maree for sharing these photos of the beautiful memorial she designed with her daughter Chloe 🥰

They opted for a large teardrop shape in a light grey, with a chamfered edge to soften the look while adding an elegant finish. The memorial was further customised by adding a deep carving of three birds on a branch. Resulting in beautiful bespoke design and tribute for Graham ❤️💧

We installed this very large memorial recently. Big thanks to Steve & family for sharing the photos.

This was a large version of our Wick design that covers two side by side lairs. A combination of Chinese characters and English text was used with the Chinese characters being a dominant feature on the memorial. The memorial was further personalised with two large portrait black and white ceramic photos ❤️

A bit of a change of scenery today. My daughter’s school have careers week this week. This afternoon I went along to their open afternoon to talk about being self employed and what we do at Mackay’s. Such a lovely bunch of kids … I am bit biased 😉🥰

For anyone in our local Tain area who has a child going through a bereavement this may be of interest ❤️‍🩹

This is a free service that a local funeral director offers. So often we have spoken with families who don’t know what their loved ones would want once they pass, this could avoid so much of this ❤️
