Tombstone and Memorial

The upright memorial stone, cut from a block chosen for how it will weather
Cut and finished from Coffee Wood Marble at our own processing base. Typical specification: A memorial stone is chosen by the block, not by the drawing, because what matters is that the stone is the same all the way through and that it weathers evenly. The decision is the block: a stone with the figure running across the face of a memorial looks like a fault, and a stone with a sound uniform body takes the polish and the lettering. The thickness is 30 mm for a slab memorial and 20 mm for the smaller upright, and the lettering is engraved or cut by a separate trade.

Tombstone and Memorial, explained

On this stone Made to order, and the block decides. Ask before you specify it.

The decision you are making

A memorial stone is chosen by the block, not by the drawing, because what matters is that the stone is the same all the way through and that it weathers evenly. The decision is the block: a stone with the figure running across the face of a memorial looks like a fault, and a stone with a sound uniform body takes the polish and the lettering. The thickness is 30 mm for a slab memorial and 20 mm for the smaller upright, and the lettering is engraved or cut by a separate trade.

What it looks like

A pale, close-grained face. This is the one form on this site where the figure is deliberately NOT wanted — the block is chosen for uniformity, not for its pattern.

Where it is the right answer

Memorials, cenotaphs and commemorative panels, cut to the inscription and the base detail.

On Coffee Wood Marble

We are honest about this one: this stone is not the usual choice for a memorial, and a buyer who wants the warm coffee colour for a memorial is choosing against the trade norm rather than with it. What we can do is cut it to the drawing from a block selected for uniformity.

The specifications on these pages are the published supplier and trade-platform figures for Guizhou Coffee Wood Marble, and the decisions each form carries are our own reading of how this material behaves in that job. We have not run a slip test, an abrasion test or a weathering test on any of them. A floor, a path or an external threshold specified for slip resistance needs the tested wet-DCOF figure for the stone and the finish, which we will supply on request.
