www.lodgebrothers.co.uk www.lodgebrothers.co.ukTrust the Lodge Family DifferenceModern and Traditional Memorials

For 240 years and seven generations, Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors and Memorial Stonemasons have been helping

the local community in their time of need, providing funerals and memorials, both modern and traditional, with care and

compassion. Our reputation for delivering a professional and personal service of the highest quality, has been built on trust

and recommendation.

The tradition of using a memorial to commemorate the life of a lost loved-one goes back to the beginning of civilisation and

is seen as a visible link between the departed and those left behind. Every memorial is individually made and can be

personalised through changes in design.

M E M O R I A L S

When choosing a memorial please remember that you can alter the design

to suit your own requirements and create a personal tribute. They are all

individually made and most designs can be made in any stone type.

All cemeteries and churchyards have specific regulations with regard to

memorials. We can advise on the appropriate style, material and lettering

finish accordingly.

D E S I G N S E RV I C E

Our masonry team aims to provide you with the highest level

of service including design, advice, installation and aftercare.

To this effect we use CAD software to create 3D images to

bring your ideas to paper before commissioning the design

to production.

Please see an example of this in the images to the

right and below.

B E S P O K E

Many clients personalise a headstone through ornamentation

such as carving, sandblasting, etching or photo plaques.

We can also supply hand carved, reconstituted and bronze

statues, together with ceramic photo plaques.

L E T T E R I N G / L AYO U T S

For new memorials our artists will create a “to scale” proof for you to

approve prior to lettering the headstone. This will show any artwork you have

requested and allow the family time to consider fonts, placement and style.

We use sandblast, hand carved and machine carved letters depending on the

material we are working with and will advise you of the best option.

A D D I T I O N A L I N S C R I P T I O N S & R E N OVAT I O N S

Our skilled masons renovate and add inscriptions to

existing memorials. At your request we will inspect

an existing memorial and provide a free quotation for

any remedial work that may be required to bring the

memorial back to its original condition.

BEFORE AFTER

MEMORIAL MASONRY MEMORIAL MASONRY

“I was taught to take pride in our workmanship and respect all our clients as every

memorial is a commemoration of a loved one’s life. This ethos runs through the memorial

team and we are really proud of the attention to detail and customer service we provide

to all our customers.”

Chris Lodge, Memorials Director
