Customer Reviews
"I just wanted to say thank you for the care and attention given to my order for a replacement memorial headstone on my mothers grave. I visited the cemetery yesterday to see the new one and was extremely happy with it. I have to say I shared a few tears, thinking about her and also having left the stone to weather so badly before seeking a replacement. I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to any of your potential customers."

"We just couldn't let this opportunity go by without thanking you once again for the beautiful Memorial Tablet you made for us for the Family Grave erected at St Mary's church Barnsley. The tablet is perfect and now seeing it for real the colour, inscription and the carving of the letters match so well with the original headstone of Grandparents. It's nice to know their names are now there for all to see, they were here in this place for everyone to remember. So we just couldn't let this moment pass to Thank you once again Chris for your kindness, advice and help and the beautiful stone we now have in place to be able to visit and reflect for many years to come.

"Yesterday Joan Gabie and I were able to go over to Brimscombe Cemetery to see the memorial headstone for Helen. I am writing to say how pleased we were with the headstone. We thought you had done an excellent job with the lettering and that altogether the memorial was simple but very beautiful. We felt it was just the sort of thing Helen herself would have loved. My friend Joan Gabie is an Artist and Sculptress, and she very much appreciated your workmanship. I would like to thank you personally for all your help to us in the planning of the Headstone and in particular your help in finding the "Carolingia" font for us. Neither of us has had to arrange anything like this before and we felt you and your Company made the task very straightforward for us. I would certainly highly recommend your Company and your work."

"So where to start. I Cannot comprehend the professionalism from start to finish. Myself and my sister are so overwhelmed by the quality and craftsmanship of the work done.

The whole process was very quick, and we weren't waiting long at all. We are so pleased with your work and, hate to say but I will, as long as the company is still going, forever be using you again. So many choices and lastly the whole transparency of all the cost was amazing and very reasonable. I cannot thank you enough! Thank you Chris, Thank you Ransome Memorials."
Grant family
"Chris Ransome beautifully created my late Mum's headstone when she sadly passed away this year. Chris made an easy process of ordering and creating the perfect headstone for Mum at such a difficult time in my life. Chris's design for Mums headstone is absolutely out of this world, and the engraving of the beautiful rose too on the stone is stunning. Chris put Mum's headstone up without delay and I am over the moon with it. The quality is absolutely stunning, and the craftsmanship behind it is 100% perfect. Thank you so much for creating this to honour my beautiful Mum, it's as beautiful as she was when she was alive. Cannot recommend you enough, you've been amazing from start to finish, and if I could give you 10 stars I would."
Hayley Robertson
"Couldn't have been more happier with the service from start to finish arranging the memorial for my family. So many options to choose from. Very grateful to Chris for guiding us through the process.

Davies Smith
"A long process to have my mother's gravestone size and inscription agreed by all parties was met with patience and understanding by Chris and the team. I would highly recommend Ransome Memorials company to anyone. The gravestone was exactly as we had wished for, something my mother would have been so pleased about."
Davies Huw
"100% reliable, flexible and extremely dedicated to doing the best job possible in time for an agreed deadline. Chris also communicates really well to agree every aspect of the details and he is an excellent, very experienced, craftsman in every respect, so I couldn't be happier with his work for us, and I highly recommend him to be entrusted with any stonemasonry job. Thank you Chris for helping to make our family memorial a special event!"
Helena Raymond
"The quality of the workmanship and professionalism of Ransome Memorials is amazing. I would highly recommend this company. Chris went out of his way for me as I am not in the same country. A job well done. P.S. Previous review was submitted without noting that the work done by Ransome Memorials was a restoration on a large memorial. The outcome was absolutely amazing, it was returned to its original state. Cannot thank Chris enough."
