About Us

Islamic Memorial Services boasts a long, distinguished and successful history in the memorial and masonry business.

Over the years, we have invested heavily in our own manufacturing facility and have evolved our commercial operation, enabling us to offer our customers the best choice of memorial gravestones and other products at affordable prices.

Our memorials are still produced by expert craftsmen and skilled artists, and we are able to create truly unique bespoke memorials to reflect the people they commemorate.

Our expertise in the business means that we are able to offer a finer detail of gravestone personalisation, with a great example being the variety of memorial etching designs we have available.

Still independently owned and managed since its formation in 1866, the company also provide a full range of ancillary services for the maintenance and renovation of memorial gravestones. This may include new additions to the lettering on the memorial or the cleaning of an existing feature. All work is carried out by skilled craftsmen who guarantee excellent results.

All of our staff are highly experienced and are here to advise and help you choose the right memorial. To get in touch with us fill out our online form or give us a call – we will be more than happy to talk you through creating the perfect memorial for your loved one.

We are in partnership with a 100+ year old family firm based in Derbyshire. As monumental masons we work with families, individuals and businesses across the Midlands and England providing and caring for bespoke memorials and other stone products.

Your peace of mind

Important Headstone Safety Information about “Ground Anchors”.

about1Due to new Safety Requirements, all memorials must now be fixed using a “mechanical fixing method” to ensure that the memorial cannot be pulled or pushed over.

Councils are now testing every memorial in their cemeteries and churchyards every five years, to ensure that the memorials have not become unstable. (Memorials which fail are the responsibility of you, the grave owner, and must be rectified)

We, in association with the National Association of Memorial Masons (NAMM) guidelines, guarantee that memorials fixed by us will withstand these tests, and will not be pulled or pushed over. All memorials from us will be fixed to these specifications and you’ll never have any problems with these tests.

Personal Service

We treat each job separately and provide personal service and advice. As each piece of work is unique to your requirements, please contact us for a visit or consultation and we will provide advice and a quotation.
