Slate is a beautiful stone with lovely natural markings. It is available in three thicknesses - 12mm, 20mm, 30mm & 50mm and we can cut it to any size you want. The 12mm is ideal for smaller wall mounted slate memorial plaques and the 50mm is used for slate memorial tablets or lawn memorials. When we receive an order the designer will create the design to your specifications. If requested a proof can be sent out to make sure it is just the way you want it. A stencil is cut from a special rubber and the memorials moves to the workshop to be sandblasted. Many stone memorials are left unpainted, but if you want the wording to stand out it can be painted in a number of different colours. White, gold and black are the most popular. If you prefer not to have natural markings in the stone or need small text, slate corian might be preferable
