Kerb & Ledger Memorials

We offer a range of Kerb & Ledger Memorials designed to create a distinguished and lasting tribute to a loved one. These memorials typically cover the entire burial plot and they provide an elegant and structured way to honour the deceased while offering extensive space for personalisation.

Our Children’s memorials are created with attention to detail and empathy, ensuring they honour the memory of a child with beauty and dignity.

Types of Kerbs & Ledger Memorials

Kerb Memorials:

  • Design: These memorials consist of raised stone borders (kerbs) surrounding the grave, enclosing it with a decorative frame. The inside area can be left as earth, filled with chippings, or paved with stone.
  • Customisation: Kerb memorials can be personalised with inscriptions along the kerbs or decorated with flowers, religious symbols, or custom carvings. They offer flexibility in design and layout.
  • Materials: Typically crafted from high-quality materials like granite, marble, or limestone for durability and aesthetics.

Ledger Memorials:

  • Design: A ledger memorial consists of a full-length stone slab that covers the entire grave, offering a large surface for engraving. This style is often combined with kerb surrounds to create a unified look.
  • Personalization: The flat ledger stone provides ample space for inscriptions, epitaphs, and decorative elements like carvings, religious symbols, or artwork. The surface can also feature designs such as crosses, flowers, or other motifs.
  • Material Choices: Ledger stones are available in a variety of materials, often polished for a sleek finish, or left unpolished for a more traditional appearance.

Combined Kerb & Ledger Memorials:

  • Design: These memorials integrate both the raised kerb surrounds and the full-length ledger slab to fully enclose the grave. This combination provides a more substantial and protective design while allowing extensive customization.
  • Custom Features: Families can choose to add vases, carved elements, or ornamental features like statues to further personalize the memorial.

Special Features

Inscriptions: Both kerbs and ledger stones can be engraved with heartfelt inscriptions, names, dates, and special messages.

Decorative Inlays: Custom designs like floral motifs, religious icons, or family crests can be engraved or inlaid into the stone.

Grave Coverings: The interior of kerb memorials can be left open for planting flowers or filled with decorative gravel or chippings for a neat, finished appearance.
