Religious Memorials for All Faiths
Faith is deeply personal, and a memorial that reflects the beliefs of the person it honours carries a special significance. We have experience creating memorials for families of all faiths and none, and we approach every commission with the same respect and sensitivity.
We can incorporate religious symbols, scripture, prayers, and inscriptions in any language — including Arabic, Hebrew, Gurmukhi, Sanskrit, and others. Our letterers are experienced in working with non-Latin scripts and will ensure every character is rendered accurately and beautifully.
Some cemeteries have dedicated faith sections with specific regulations. We are familiar with the requirements at all the cemeteries we serve and will advise you on what is permitted at your chosen site.
Cross Styles
Latin Cross
The most widely recognised Christian cross — a tall vertical shaft with a shorter horizontal bar. Available in all sizes and materials.
Celtic Cross
A Latin cross with a distinctive ring connecting the arms — rooted in the early Christian tradition of Ireland and Scotland. Often features intricate knotwork carving.
Orthodox Cross
A three-barred cross used in Eastern Orthodox tradition. We work with all Orthodox communities and are familiar with the specific requirements of Orthodox cemeteries.
Cross on Headstone
A cross motif carved in relief or laser-engraved on a standard headstone — a more subtle approach that combines religious symbolism with a traditional memorial form.
Cross with Kerb Set
A cross headstone combined with a full kerb surround — a complete and dignified memorial for a full grave space.
Crucifix
A cross bearing the figure of Christ — available in white marble and granite. A deeply personal choice for Catholic families.
