“A headstone creates a lasting memory of a loved one. The design should encompass their personality and how they want to be remembered, memorialising them for years to come.
Choosing a memorial can be an overwhelming experience, here at Goode Stone Supplies we want to make this process as smooth as possible.
We have prided ourselves on our high quality work within the masonry sector. Following numerous
requests to provide memorials, we felt that the natural progression was to set up a memorial sector. Meaning Goode Stone Supplies can now provide new and existing clients the time required
and full attention of a dedicated team to fully support them through the emotional time of choosing the very best memorial for their loved one.
From our knowledge and experience (of over 80 years combined) we are able to produce the
highest quality memorials, whether it be a standard affordable memorial or a total bespoke
commission, you will have the confidence that this can be achieved. With the use of our state of
the art CNC machines or our experienced stonemasons, our dedicated staff will be more than
happy to assist you through the complete process. This may include advising on a suitable
memorial for your intended location to arranging the installation.“

Any font can be applied, however some fonts due to the nature of the stone are not suitable for V cut lettering, but may be suitable for shot blasted lettering instead. If you have a specific font in mind we would be more than happy to discuss and advise you. Here are our 3 favourite Roman style fonts, which we believe look really good when engraved in stone. At Goode Stone Supplies Ltd we are able to supply lettering that has been V cut either by hand or machine, or shot blasted. All fonts will then have the option to be left as natural stone, painted or gilded with gold leaf.
