We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share their new family memorial and accompanying memorial vase.

Our 105-Barony headstone (from our online brochure) at 3ft in overall height in Indian Black Granite & our 149-Cloncaird 8” Indian Black Granite Vases.

This traditional shape of stone allows for a lot of versatility as can be seen by the photos.

The text has been engraved and done in Gold Resin on both the headstone and accompanying vase.

The family had wanted butterflies on the headstone, and this has been done as intricate stencil style engravings both set within the shoulders of the Ogee top of the letter plate, fluttering inward toward the inscription.

A heartfelt sentiment has been engraved along the bottom of the letter plate, and to finish the stone off, the family had wanted “WEE JEANIE” in 2inch text along the front of the plinth.

The vase has been engraved in the script style font to match the sentiment lines along the bottom of the stone, and this vase is of sentiment to the dearly departed’s sibling who misses her.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share these images of their family memorial before & after.

The client for this headstone came to us as they were requiring an additional inscription to the stone, as well as wanting the headstone cleaned due to lichen buildup, and the existing text to be renewed.

Regardless if the headstone is one we have originally supplied, or from another monumental mason, we match all existing fonts to make the text flow seamlessly.

When we renew existing text, we remove any existing gold leaf/undercoats to allow for better application of Gold Resin. The text with the application of Gold Resin means that for future maintenance of the stone, the lettering can be cleaned without any fear of the Gold coming away.

We at Ayrshire Memorials LTD love seeing older memorials brought back to life.

If you, your family or anyone you know requires additional works to headstones, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share their new family memorial.

Our 105-Barony 2ft 10in in overall height (from our online brochure) supplied in a stunning Blue Pearl Granite

This classic shape of headstone allows for a lot of versatility as can be seen in the photo

The text has been engraved and done in Gold Resin, a contrasting colour to the silvery pearlescent grain of Blue Pearl Granite, to make the text stand out.

The family had wanted a symbol of the marriage between husband and wife on the stone, so one way they chose in doing this is with an engraved graphic (done in Gold Resin) of intertwined Wedding Bands with the initial of husband and wife inside each band. This has been done within the top curve of the letter plate.

To finish the stone off, and to continue the symbolism of marriage and love, the family had decided on a heartfelt sentiment of “True Love Never Dies” which has been engraved along the front of the plinth.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share these images of their family memorial before and after.

The client for this headstone came to us as the headstone was badly needing cleaned and the lettering touched, as well as stability issues with the stone leaning back significantly and the original foundation exposed due to ground subsidence and and out-dated foundation.

Since this is an older headstone, it was not previously anchor pinned to its existing foundation, so we removed the headstone, drilled an anchor dowel hole to accommodate a NAMM approved anchor pin for re-erection of the headstone to a newly supplied council installed foundation.

Prior to re-erection of the headstone (on a council installed foundation) of the headstone, we cleaned the stone, removed all existing Lead Paint from the Raised Lead text and repainted the Raised Lead in Black Enamel.

Our process is seamless for our clients, we deal with any local authority, have all forms readily available, and with us being full NAMM Retail Members and fully RQMF qualified, you know that your unstable/unsafe memorial will be fixed to the highest of standards for our trade.

We at Ayrshire Memorials LTD love seeing older memorials brought back to life, fully re-erected to the highest standards.

If you, your family, or anyone you know require stability and/or refurbishment works to a headstone, please do not hesitate to contact us at Ayrshire Memorials LTD

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share their new family memorial for their baby boy.

Our “The Leyburn” sized at 2ft 6in (with an off-set sloping plinth) in overall height in a stunning Star Galaxy Granite

This classic Half Ogee with tapering chamfered edges shape of headstone allows for a lot of versatility as can be seen in the pictures.

The family had decided on the text to be engraved and done in Silver Resin, with their dearly departed baby boy’s name done in Blue Resin.

Heartfelt sentiments from the family were chosen to go under Baby Henry’s name. Since sentiments were chosen to be as high up on the letter plate, and since this stone is on a full lair, this has allowed sufficient room left to allow for mum and dad to be added to the stone long term when such time would come in the future, thus future proofing the headstone.

Along the sloped off-set plinth, the family had chosen very poignant words to reflect the emotions and feelings which the life of their dear baby boy had impacted upon them as a family.

To finish the headstone off, the family had decided on having a photo of their baby boy on the stone, and this has been done as a 7cm x 9cm Oval Photo Ceramic, placed within the top left hand curve of the letter plate.

We at Ayrshire Memorials LTD and the family would also like to thank Memories are Better than Dreams for their help and support in collaboration with us for this unique headstone.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share their new family memorial.

Our 105-Barony 2ft 6in (with an off-set sloping plinth) from our online brochure in a stunning Star Galaxy Granite

This classic shape of headstone allows for a lot of versatility as can be seen in the pictures.

The family had decided on the text to be engraved and done in Gold Resin, which complements the sparkle of the grain in Star Galaxy Granite.

The graphic chosen by the family is of Roses shaped and curved along the full ogee top and shoulders of the stone. This has been engraved and done in a Grey/Black mottled effect Resin. This colouration of the graphic was done as it is a close representation to the granite’s natural colouring (before polishing) and the family had wanted this done to show the natural colours of the unpolished stone without it changing in colour when wet, as unpolished granite darkens and changes colouration from wet to dry.

A heartfelt sentiment has been engraved along the bottom of the letter plate to balance the letter plate out.

To finish the headstone off, on the off-set sloped plinth the family had decided on having their family name done in 2inch sized text, making a statement for the stone.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share this beautiful bespoke memorial for their dearly departed baby twin girls.

Our 105-Barony headstone (from our online brochure) at 2ft tall in Indian Black Granite. This classic shape of headstone allows for a lot of versatility, as can be seen by the photos.

The text has been engraved and done in Baby Pink Resin, and the style of font chosen by the family is the Waltograph (Disney) font.

The family had decided on having graphics on the stone, and these are butterflies with a heart styled wing pattern. They have been done within the corner shoulders at the top of the stone along with the family name which is curved to match the curve of the ogee top.

Since the stone is set back from the grass on a strip foundation, text is visible along the front of the base. The family had wanted a heartfelt sentiment of Forever Our Girls along the base to finish the stone off.

We at Ayrshire Memorials LTD and the family would also like to thank Memories are Better than Dreams for their help and support in collaboration with us for this unique headstone.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share their new family memorial.

Our “The Darwen” 2ft 10in overall height, accompanied with our 149-Cloncaird 6” Cube Vase (from our online brochure) both in a stunning in Star Galaxy Granite

This shape of stone has 1” chamfered edges, is a symmetrical stone with curved shoulders which lends itself well to having graphic/s either on each shouldered area to balance it out, or in this instance a graphic centered within the top curve, as can be seen in the photos.

The family for this headstone decided on having the engraved text and graphic done in Gold Resin, a colour which complements the fleck in Star Galaxy Granite.

The graphic chosen by our client is of intertwined hearts, with each heart having the first initial of husband and wife, to signify the love they have for each other. To complement the Gold Text, a heartfelt sentiment of memory being a golden chain is engraved along the bottom of the letter plate.
To finish the stone off, since the headstone is on a strip foundation and set back from the grass, the family had decided on having their family name in 2 inch text along the front face of the plinth.

The vase accompanying the headstone is a personal nod to the dearly departed from children and grandchildren for them to place flowers separately from the main stone.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share their new family memorial.

Our “The Pebble” sized at 3ft overall in height in a stunning Dark Bahama Blue Granite.

This shape of stone is designed to look like a natural stone and it’s rounded on all edges of the plate, with the base having a fully bullnosed wavy front to add to the natural look like it has been smoothed by a coursing river over time, like a pebble.

The text has been engraved and done in Gold Resin which is a colour of text that contrasts the Dark Bahama Blue Granite to make it stand out.

The family had expressed how much of a Hearts fan their dearly loved one was, and wanted this expressed on the headstone. Discussions on this finalised to having the Hearts football crest being engraved and done in Gold Resin under the main inscription, and with text at the bottom of the letter plate stating “A Jambo Through n’ Through” (Jambo being a colloquialism for being a Hearts supporter).

To set the headstone off, the family wanted a photo of their dearly departed on it, and the shape of stone allows for this in the top left curved section of the letter plate. The family opted for an 11cm x 15cm Oval Photo Ceramic set within the top curved area of the plate.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share this beautiful bespoke memorial for their baby boy.

Our “The Rocky Bear” headstone at 1ft 9inch overall height in a stunning Dark Bahama Blue Granite, with carved (back and front) and painted Patchwork Teddy Bear.

All the Teddy Bear stones that we supply are fully carved front, sides and back, and they are painted in an “antique” style finish with a customers choice of colours for patches/nose etc.

The text has been engraved and done in Silver Resin, complementing the grey tones of the Teddy Beat, and the style of font chosen by the family is the Waltograph (Disney) font.

The family had opted for sentimental text to be centred within the star which the Teddy Bear is holding up, creating that personal touch.

We at Ayrshire Memorials LTD and the family would also like to thank Memories are Better than Dreams for their help and support in collaboration with us for this unique headstone.

We would like to extend our thanks to the family for allowing us to share their new family memorial.

Our “Rossington” 2ft 9in in overall height in a stunning Indian Aurora Granite.

This modern shape of headstone is similar to a Half Ogee style letter plate, but features the two vertical edges of the plate as fully rounded edges, as well is being convex on the front and back face. This replicates the curve of the elliptically shaped plinth.

The decorative touches on this letter plate features intricately engraved and coloured “wrap around” climbing flowers along the top, left and bottom sections of the stone. The flower design on this stone usually comes in lilac and white, however our client had specified them to be in a blue similar to Forget Me Nots. This colour against Indian Aurora Granite makes them stand out in a classic way.

The text has been engraved and done in Gold Resin, and to finish the headstone off, on the front curve of the elliptical base a heartfelt sentiment is engraved.
