Create something truly personal for your loved one.
Here at Lakeland Slate Memorials we aim to supply memorials produced to a high standard of workmanship using the best quality materials.
Care is taken throughout the design, production and fitting process to ensure a finished memorial that once fitted will provide an everlasting tribute to your loved ones.
We operate from a small workshop in the heart of the lakes where you are welcome to call in to see a small display of memorials and ask us any questions.
Having been a member of the British register of Memorial Masons (BRAMM) for several years we can ensure that all or fitting and fixing is carried out to the highest level in accordance to the British Standard.
Lakeland Slate Memorials is proud to produce hand crafted memorials to meet your needs. The slate is collected direct from the Lakeland fell quarries as ” clogs ” before being cut and shaped in the workshop.
The Westmorland slate was formed over 450 million years ago from compressed volcanic ash, enriched with the mineral Chlorite giving it the famous green shade which varies greatly meaning every memorial made is unique.
We offer a choice of simple but classic shaped memorials that can be supplied with a slate base or as a monolith stone, a single slab that sits directly into the ground.
Shaped stones include, ogee, camber top, round top, square top, peon top , half ogee, half peon and gothic.
For any other shapes please enquire.
We are able now to offer granite memorials made from the highest-grade stone available, sourced from the UK’s top suppliers.
The granite stones are available in many shapes and colours with several design options also. We have a full brochure available upon request.

We ensure quality is at the heart of everything we do, we are able to create beautiful, personal memorials to suit the individual needs of our clients. We listen to your wishes and can advise you on the perfect design to suit your needs.
All our slate memorials are engraved in the traditional style whereby the letters are v cut deep into the stone in the same way a hand cut letter would be. This ensures that the inscription is crisp and clear and will last a lifetime. We can offer a variety of fonts and also simple image etchings if needed. Once the inscription is agreed then we can provide a mock up proof for approval before the work begins.
We believe that a truly lasting memorial starts with using the right stone. All our slate is sourced locally right here in the Lake District. Lakeland slate is known for its high-quality and durability. Its renowned for its resistance to weather and does not encourage the growth of mosses or lichens, ensuring that the headstone remains looking beautiful for years to come.
We had Mum’s headstone made using nabresina by Artisan Memorials and it is a truly wonderful work of art. Mark is an absolutely masterful craftsman. We have since had our house name carved into Welsh slate as we were so pleased. We cannot praise Mark enough and wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to anyone wanting beautifully engraved stone and who appreciates friendly and professional service.
From start to finish, Mark provided an outstanding service in order to create a beautiful, thoughtful and lasting memorial. The care and attention to detail has made the experience so much easier. We did not want an “out of the catalogue” type memorial, and especially not a modern shiny/granite type stone. I was breath taken to see the timeless and loving memorial Mark created. We cannot thank you enough, you are extremely talented!
