Sounds like a specialised job mate, try asking one of the local funeral directors, they can be very understanding

I think that is Frank Hartley - an old mate of my brother, and he was an usher at my wedding (1st one)
He will be about 68 now, so may have retired. He has been an engraver all his life - was a 'time served' apprentice. You wouldn't find one better.

not looking for a job on the side, just someone who will do it for a reasonable price, thats all - and I did think of a funeral directors but I thought they would charge a small fortune.
I have no shortage of granite (perk of the job) so its not like that has to be gotten. just the engraving required.

What you are looking for then is a monumental mason not a funeral director. Hillside memorials?

always ask to see some of their work mate,especially if yer having the letters painted or owt, some cowboys engrave too shallow, n it wears off with weather in a few years,trust me on that.;)
