Description
The Milford is a standard memorial in black granite with an ogee shaped top. An ogee is the double curve, concave above and convex below, that gives the headstone its soft shouldered profile rather than a plain square top.
Black granite is the most widely chosen material for a memorial, and there is a practical reason for it. Lettering, whether cut, painted or gilded, reads more clearly against black than against any lighter stone, and it stays legible for far longer.
All of our workmanship complies with the National Association of Memorial Masons Code of Practice. Materials are selected from all over the world, and we will advise you on which are suitable for a particular design and for the churchyard or cemetery where the memorial will stand.
Almost any design can be produced in almost any material. If you have seen a memorial you like and have a photograph or a sketch of it, show it to us and we will work from that. We also carry out maintenance and renovation, and have long experience of restoring older memorials.
