Offley Memorials Ltd

Offley Memorials Ltd Offley Memorials works in partnership with their clients to create the finest, most fitting, lasting natural stone tributes.

The business that has become Offley Memorials Ltd began in 1978 when Nicholas Prutton began learning his trade as a master stonemason. After gaining much experience and furthering his knowledge, he set out forming his own business in 1989 from outbuildings in his garden in the picturesque village of Offley, Hertfordshire. The business quickly grew and soon required further members of staff in both the office and workshop. With this expansion came the move into a larger premises, with the purchase of a separate shop and showroom in Dunstable, Bedfordshire and from here the business continued to go from strength to strength. In 2007 Nick decided to take early retirement to relocate down to Devon with his family. As the business had achieved an exemplary reputation it sold quickly (Offley and Dunstable combined) and Nick soon swapped headstones for the North Devon Coast. However, you can take Nicholas away from the headstones but not the memorials away from Nick and in part, this lead to his return to Offley in 2013. His well-earned, excellent reputation still brought people from far and wide knocking on the door of the family home. It is largely this exceptionally high demand, 10 years after wrapping up, that has lead Nicholas Prutton to team up with daughter Hayley and son Billy. Running once again from the workshop in Offley where it all started nearly 30 years’ ago, together the three of them are enjoying rekindling working relationships with previous clients and much valued and trusted suppliers as well as meeting and taking care of new faces.

This is the current view from our office which is the very first thing clients ALWAYS, without a doubt, comment on. No matter what time of year, they love how calm and beautiful and surrounded by nature we are.

Several have said how our view and location helps them mentally and emotionally when making the important decision of which memorial to choose.

They love our unique feel - we are not a shop. We are not a messy masonry yard. We are not cold, clinical or uninviting. What you see is what you get with us. Warmth, serenity, peace and space - both inside the office and out, with guidance, reassurance and professionalism at a time when you need it most.

What we didn’t know until very recently is what the farmer had planted this year. It has been the subject of great debate with some clients saying cabbages, some insisting it’s beet…..well there is absolutely no doubt now what it is with those beautiful sunny yellow heads.

Through creative activities, guided conversations, and connection with other children who get it, your child will be reassured that their feelings are normal and that they’re not alone 💛
