First Blog

Hi there! We are UK Memorials

Hi everyone! Welcome to our first ever blog post here on the UK memorials. We thought it would be fitting to let you know a little bit ourselves.

Our Background

As a company, we originate from The Sign Maker, an online sign-making firm with over 17 years worth of experience. We specialise in high-quality, bespoke signs in a wide variety of materials. Onsite you will find talented craftsmen from carpenters to stonemasons, vinyl and engrave technicians. Thanks to our expertly skilled team and alongside our experienced designers we have created a wide range of expertly crafted signs. As the sign business began to expand we started to turn our hand to making memorials. Many of the tools, equipment and skills required to make signs are transferable to memorials. From there our memorial range grew from strength to strength however our sign making site became too large. To respond to our customers feedback we have decided to create a new website dedicated solely to memorials.

What we Make

Here at UK Memorials, we have a wide selection of memorials to choose from. One of our most popular ranges is our stone wedges which are used on an existing grave or as a lawn memorial. You can choose to have the wording etched directly onto the wedge or have a corian plaque applied. Another range of memorials includes our wooden memorials such as crosses, plaques and lawn memorials. Finally, we make a wide range of engraved memorials, such as brass, full colour memorials and more. For more information on the type of memorials, we make take a look at our website.

Our Company Ethos

Finally, we thought it would be good to provide you with information on our ethos as a company. Here at The Sign Maker and UK Memorials we care a great deal about our team and the environment. Starting with our team, we feel our greatest asset is our employees. A happy team equals a happy company. We spend a great deal of timing working with our staff to make a more efficient, creative and fun company. The second ethos of UK Memorials is the environment, we feel that every company no matter how small or large should do their bit. Our workshops are located in rural North Devon on an old farm. This has enabled the director’s Kate and Shaun Price to transfer the land into a safe haven for wildlife, they have planted thousands of trees and dug several wildlife ponds. Additionally, they have erected a wind turbine and installed a biomass boiler for heating and electricity. Therefore, when you purchase from either UK Memorials or The Sign Maker you know that you are purchasing from a company who does their bit!
