I have just finished a gravestone plaque in The Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh where I was required to use high raised stone letter carving. I was asked to add additional names and dates to an old limestone plaque dating from 1925 when this type of letter carving was more common.

Simon Burns-Cox creates beautiful Bespoke Hand Carved Gravestones, Memorials and Headstones and offers all types of Stone Letter Carving for Home and Business. He is based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Gravestones have been around for thousands of years, and began when the deceased was buried near the home. The grave was marked with a stele or marker made from stone or wood. This was usually placed over the grave as a mark of respect and to stop the deceased from rising.
