Robertson MemorialsEst. 1876

The Complete Memorial Service since 1876Every aspect of your memorial purchase, from your initial enquiry through to the final stage of erecting, is overseen by our own staff. This ensures that we offer you a complete and worry-free memorial service.

A full design and consultation service for bespoke memorials is available, together with an extensive range of standard designs. Our drawing office can produce computer generated layouts of your personalised memorial and inscription for your approval.

Many of the memorials shown in this brochure have been manufactured in the UK. A small flag beside a memorial description will indicate where British granite, stone and slate is used.

Skilled craftsmen take time to mason, polish, carve and letter the memorials to the highest standard in what remains a very labour intensive manufacturing process. We also use modern machinery and the most up-to-date laser engraving technology to produce a memorial of the highest quality which your family will admire for generations to come.

InscriptionsThere are many ways of wording an inscription. Examples are shown on the memorials within this brochure.

Please note: These inscriptions have been produced using computer graphics in an attempt to give an indication of the size, colour and style of letters available.

Unless otherwise requested, memorial inscriptions will be cut in the popular SCHOOLBOOK and BLOCK style.

Loves last gift remembrance

Resting where no shadows fall

Gone but not forgotten

Forever in our thoughts

Reunited

Always remembered

Until the day dawns

Peace perfect peace

So dearly loved, so greatly misssed

Remembered with a smile

At rest

In God’s keeping

Rest in peace

Forever young

Requiescant in pace

Simply the best

Great loves live on

Too dearly loved to be forgotten

His life a beautiful memory,His absence a silent grief

Gone from our homeBut not from our hearts

Gone is the face we loved so dear,Silent the voice we loved to hear

A tiny flower lent, not givenTo bud in earth and bloom in heaven

To live in the hearts of those we leave, Is not to die

Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn

and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against

the dying of the light.Dylan Thomas

As a day well spent brings blessed sleep,

So a life well lived brings a blessed death
