Headstones come in different designs depending on your preferences and cemetery guidelines. At Tallaght Stone Centre, we specialise in premium granite stones that stay beautiful even in the changing Irish climate.
Traditional Upright Memorials
These are the most common style nationwide. They offer ample room for inscriptions and can be designed with a variety of engraving styles.
Kerbed Grave Designs
Kerb sets frame the grave, creating a clean, finished appearance. They allow room for chippings, artificial grass, or flower displays.
Decorative Heart and Book Memorials
These memorials offer a softer, symbolic look. They are especially chosen for those wanting a more meaningful design.
Granite Plaques
Perfect for additional inscriptions. These are durable and customisable.
