Fine Memorials  Opiniões 

Escrito pela empresa

What started as a one-man operation has grown into Somerset’s most trusted family-run memorial masons, with Ian's son, Ashley Hale fully involved in running the business for the last 17 years, being a Bramm assessor for 5 years – Fine Memorials is one of Bridgwater’s longest-standing independent businesses. In 2000 we transformed a derelict building on  St Mary Street into our flagship showroom and workshop, a project that made the front page of the Bridgwater Mercury (“Returning building to its former glory”, July 2000). The extensive renovations created a spacious, welcoming home for Fine Memorials, where we could better display our range of memorials and headstones. In 2025, we celebrated our 44th anniversary  In an age of machines, the time-honoured skill of hand-cutting an inscription is a truly special art form that we still do in-house.  This traditional method is a testament to the ultimate in craftsmanship, where our master stonemasons meticulously draw and then carve each individual letter by hand using a chisel and hammer. It is a slow, precise process that can take many hours, resulting in a unique, V-shaped letter that has a depth and character that cannot be replicated by a machine. Each hand-cut inscription is a bespoke work of art, a personal and permanent tribute created with unparalleled skill. To witness this incredible process.  At Fine Memorials, we value traditional skills and are proud to offer a wide range of lettering techniques and finishes. You can choose from sandblasting, hand chiselling, machine cutting, raised lead and inlaid lead lettering. Ver mais
