Sandstone Memorials

About Sandstone

Sandstone has been used for centuries in churchyards and cemeteries across the North East, valued for its warm, natural tones and its ability to carry fine inscriptions with clarity and grace. It is particularly well-suited to traditional churchyard settings and green burial grounds.

At Murray Memorials, our craftsmen have extensive experience working with sandstone, shaping and finishing each memorial by hand to the highest standard. We source quality stone and apply the same rigorous installation process we use for all our memorials — including our own concrete foundations — to ensure every sandstone headstone stands firm for generations.

We serve families across Gateshead (53 High Street, Felling, NE10 9LU), Sunderland (188 Hylton Rd, SR4 7YA), and Consett (The Memorial Works, DH8 8BE), as well as the wider North East region.
