About Murray Memorials
A local family-run business dedicated to creating lasting tributes — crafted to the highest standard, with care and compassion at every step.
Our Story
Who We Are
We are a local family-run business who believe a memorial is the last gift you can give to someone, so it needs to be done right. The new generation of workers have proven to be innovative in their approach and are all trained within their chosen field.
Our Foundations Promise
Here at Murray Memorials we are the only masons who, prior to fixing a memorial, lay the foundations first, then leave them to set before putting the memorial up. Our foundations are bigger and better than other masons for extra stability. Please compare our work in the cemeteries.
Our Standards
What We Offer
With Murray Memorials you get peace of mind knowing that your memorial will be created by craftsmen and fixed to a standard over and above any other memorial mason or funeral director in the North East of England. We offer superior tried and tested methods in the fixing of our memorials, based on British Standard and Ministry of Justice guidelines.

"Murray Memorials' design work and lettering is frequently copied by other masons — but like all copies, they are never as good as the original. We take it as a compliment that others try to follow our lead."
