Who we are
We are one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and wholesalers of premium granite memorials and headstones, in a wide range of colours, textures, finishes and shapes. Our customers know us for fast, reliable deliveries, competitive prices and excellent quality and service – which is why we have grown into the largest headstone wholesaler in the UK.
We hold the largest stock in the UK, available for immediate delivery – a range from stock that is unrivalled. Most standard memorials and catalogue designs are in our Manchester yards, and anything else is made to order in 11 weeks on average, the fastest delivery in the industry.
Our own factory and quarry
We are the only UK headstone wholesaler with our own factory and our own quarry in India. Our factory, Khammam Granite (Pvt) Ltd, has made memorials since 1976, and our quarry produces Premium Khammam Ebony Black – the black granite famous worldwide, also known as Khammam Black and Absolute Black. Owning every step lets us control the whole process: quarrying, manufacturing, quality control, despatch and delivery.
The factory in Khammam, Telangana, uses modern German machinery and skilled craftsmen to make memorials in Premium Khammam Ebony Black, Black Galaxy, Ruby Red, Indian Red, Paradiso, Bahama Blue, Blue Pearl, South African Grey, Tropical Green and many more granite colours. We make any design, shape and size, and supply customers in the UK, Ireland, Holland and the USA.
