JRPollock & Co.

Memorials:

We will help you to choose or design the most suitable headstone, memorial or gravestone, from our large selection of premium quality granite headstones and designs, using the most up to date techniques.

Our caring, expert service and workmanship are second to none and are guaranteed accordingly and we can assure you that we are able to offer all this at very reasonable prices.

Choosing the finish is just as important as choosing the material and will have a significant impact on the durability and appearance of the headstone. Like the material, if you want to bury your loved one in a churchyard you have limited options.

Polished headstones are smooth and shiny. 

Part-polished headstones are only polished or honed on the inscription and base area. Everywhere else is either sawn, sanded, blasted or polished..

Honed finishes (eggshell) are smooth, yet unreflective – an effect that’s achieved by partially removing the polish with dust. .

Pitched (rock pitch) finishes are created with a bolster and hammer. Pitched headstones are very rustic and often used in older churchyards.
