Memorial stone 'Lily'

A stone that stays, like the memory of her

Choosing a memorial stone is not a small decision. You want something that reflects who your loved one was, that holds up to the weather and the years, and that continues to look right wherever it stands. The oval 'Lily' memorial stone in granite offers exactly that: quiet, lasting presence.

Granite: built to last

Granite is one of the hardest natural stones used in memorial masonry. It resists frost, moisture and prolonged exposure to the elements as a matter of its nature, not as a treatment or coating. The oval form is smooth and closed, giving the stone a settled look that draws no unnecessary attention to itself. The lily motif is worked into the surface of the stone rather than applied on top, making it part of the stone itself rather than a separate decorative element.

What the lily says about the person you are remembering

The lily has carried meaning in memorial culture for centuries. It is associated with purity and with the idea that a life continues to exist beyond what is visible, in the people who carry it. If you are choosing this stone, you are choosing a symbol that speaks to something many people feel but find difficult to say: that the bond you shared does not simply end. This stone makes that presence tangible.

Personalisation: making the stone theirs

Text engraving is available on this memorial stone. A name, a date, a phrase you have always associated with them: all of these can be added. Once you have placed your order, you will receive a proof for approval before anything is committed to stone, so you have the chance to check every detail.

Practical steps before you order

A memorial stone is a considered purchase, and there are practical points worth addressing before you commit.

Check with the cemetery first

Before ordering, it is worth speaking to the cemetery manager or local authority about what is and is not permitted at your specific site. Many cemeteries have regulations covering the dimensions, materials and shapes of memorials, and some require installation to be carried out by approved local stonemasons only. Any concrete base or foundation beneath the stone will typically need to be installed by the cemetery itself. Getting clarity on these points first means there are no surprises once your stone arrives.

You approve the design before production begins

After placing your order, you will receive a proof showing exactly how the engraved text will appear on the stone. Nothing goes into production until you have confirmed that you are happy with it. If you have questions about the stone, the engraving options or the ordering process, please do get in touch by phone or via the contact form and we will talk it through with you at whatever pace suits.
