The company is run by Ivor Spencer who personally oversees the work on every headstone and memorial.

Qualifications

This enabled him to train and assess Stonemasons throughout Southern England to achieve an NVQ in Stonemasonry which is a lifelong qualification including a unit that is equivalent to the BRAMM fixer licence which is a requirement of many burial authorities.

Recent changes in health and safety guidelines for the erection of headstones have resulted in new qualifications for Stonemasons and Ivor Spencer was pleased to undertake the necessary advanced training to become a CITB AI Assessor.

Customer Service

Ivor is willing to spend time giving friendly, sympathetic, and helpful advice free of charge to achieve a finished headstone that is a traditional but unique work of art.

Home visits are made Monday to Friday by appointment – available day or evenings so that memorials can be discussed in familiar surroundings.

Visits to our showrooms in Dover or Ashford are also welcomed at any time, Monday to Friday, no appointments required.
