Amazing. Can't thank Martin enough for his excellent service, fantastic memorial and workmanship. We ordered a stone, which was cheaper than the competitors and absolutely beautiful. We changed the inscription more than once and nothing was too much, or ever seemed trouble. He kept us informed every step of the way and the result is simply beautiful.

On Monday evening Jane and her family took me to see the stone erected on his grave, it looks absolutely lovely and makes the grave look special now it has such a fine stone to mark it.

Thank you very much for all your work and effort to help us get it just right. You were very patient and kind and we do appreciate all that you did for us.

They talked me through the process and were very compassionate and patient, nothing was too much for them. The affordable prices allowed me to give my loved one exactly what she would have loved.

Andrew Hart

In the "minefield " of who to choose for a family memorial restoration project, my first option was M&J.
After an in depth chat with Martin, I need look no further, he explained the process and took on board my concerns and preferences.
Due to adverse weather of both kinds the work was delayed, but Martin wouldn't carry it out if there was risk of it failing, " do it right and do it once".
The restoration was immaculate, the memorial is now pristine, level and fully repaired. The site was left clean and tidy.
I'm now proud to visit a fitting memorial to the special family members.
Thank you again Martin.

Good service and prices. I used this company to replace an old memorial in East London Cemetery. From start to finish it took about 7 months. The quality of the memorial did not disappoint. The quality of the Chinese characters where done exactly to the template I provided. I also did not have to visit the company site in person as everything was explained over email and good quality photos where provided prior and post to engraving. I would be happy to use M&J Memorials again if needed. Highly recommended. Thank you M&J Memorials.

It is so rare nowadays to find a service as professional as this. I could not be more delighted with my parents’ cremation memorial stone. It looks even better than I had hoped. It was important to me to find a pearl white granite since my late mother’s name means pearl. It is not so easy to find a pale granite but M&J Memorials found me the perfect coloured granite. They have been wonderful throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

It’s exactly what we wanted; it’s exactly what my aunt and uncle would have wanted. Reasonably priced, great service: a rarity these days. Thank you!!

M&J Memorials are a father and son business They are very professional. I could not be more delighted with my grandfather's memorial stone.
It was important to me to find a grey granite stone as Norwood Cemetery did not allow any modern stones in the Hellenic Enclosure such black with gold lettering. It had to be low in height and of traditional design but M&J Memorials found me the perfect grey granite design and engraved it with black lettering.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
