Jonathan Rayfield

"I find it very pleasing to create a memorial for a client that is unique to an individual, whether it's a small carving of their favourite animal or a flourished font, just something different.
It's great to find customers that share that enthusiasm and want to mark a celebration of a loved ones life with the care and attention to detail that goes into each piece.
I believe that not all memorials should be the same in the same way that no two people are. I think that many funeral directors and other memorial masons can sometimes go down the path of looking through a catalogue with a client and can perhaps obscure their vision or hopes of what is or isn't achievable. I genuinely believe that at Rayfield Stone we set the bar higher.  We offer truly special memorials at affordable prices."
