We’ve just had two articles published in the latest edition of the national magazine “Farewells”!

The first article is in the body of the magazine starting on page 32, with the second piece posted on the “Farewell” website blog page.

Here's the link to the website, where you can see the latest edition of the magazine https://farewells.co.uk/

We’ll be working with this publication throughout the year, to have several articles featured, highlighting the skills, expertise, and dedication our teams have to their trades.

When Jayne from Farewells came to visit us in November 2022, we took great pleasure in taking her through the process we go through with all our clients and showed her first-hand, the talent and creativity we have within our own four walls. We got to talking about death, dying and the industry we’re in. Anna and Jayne had an interesting discussion about the concept of Memento Mori, which Anna has written a blog about previously. You can read the blog on our website. Here's the link https://mindfulmemorials.co.uk/news/memento-mori

Is Memento Mori something you can relate to? Leave your comments, questions, or queries below and we’ll try to answer them.

It is with very great sadness that we learn of the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth.

Our thoughts are with The Royal Family at this very sad time.

This was a special commission that started its journey from a Welsh Slate Mine, the client was involved in the design process, including visits to The Mason's Yard.

This beautiful hand-carved stone memorial perfectly demonstrates the importance of keeping our heritage skills alive. The carving has been expertly undertaken by one of our in-house stonemasons.

After years of visiting Churchyards all over the UK, Adrian picked out some of his favourite shapes and designs and used them for inspiration for our Signature Stone Collection. It's always such a privilege to be able to work with our clients on these memorials and to hand carve these beautiful stones. It gives us a chance to leave our small mark on these unique spaces for future generations to appreciate like we do with stone masons of the past.

Thankfully it was not as hot as it was earlier in the week, but it was still warm and dry. :)

It is easy to say - "oh just put it there" but in truth, it is a massive undertaking installing display memorials and these are the easy ones AND on the hottest day of the century!!! well done team!

We've started getting memorials into the new flagship showroom at The Masons Yard at long last,...had to record the momentous moment Neil and Charles put the first of our Signature Collection showroom pieces in...only 2 years in the planning 😅🙏🙏🙏
