Memorial inscription specialists
Kenneth A Fraser Ltd uses both traditional and modern methods of cutting letters into memorial stones. We cover Lancashire, Cumbria, Cheshire, Manchester and North Yorkshire.
Lettering on granite memorials are finished with gold leaf but can also be painted, usually white or silver on dark granite and black on lighter granite. Lettering on marble memorials are normally finished in black enamel or flush lead. York stone and limestone letters are usually finished in black enamel. Inscriptions on slate can be gilded, painted black or white. All inscriptions can simply be carved into the stone without finishing in a contrasting colour, in these circumstances, the lettering is carved deeper than normal, thus ensuring the inscription is clearly legible. Contact us today to discuss your requirements.
For new memorials and additional inscriptions in Lancaster City Council cemeteries, you are required to submit a LCC memorial consent form with full details of the memorial specifications. We can help with the submission. To find out about your local cemetery and churchyard fees for new memorials and additional inscriptions, contact
