Memorials & stonemasonry

Memorial Stonemason
I’m a fully qualified memorial stonemason, with 33 years of experience crafting stone memorials. One of Dorset’s most experienced memorial craftsman, I specialise in letter carving, memorial fixing and restoration. I run an independent stonemasons business, managing every part of the work myself, from beginning to end, meaning you will always deal with me directly – no middle man or sales staff. This allows me to offer a personal service and ensures my prices remain attractive and competitive.
Choosing a Memorial
Choosing a memorial may seem a daunting prospect, however I’m experienced and knowledgeable and will guide you through every step of the process.

My mom and dad's memorial was falling apart and I wanted something with less maintenance. I got in touch with Dan who has made a lovely memorial out of black marble with names and dates carved in relief, so that they will never disappear with time. I am very pleased with the result, it looks very smart. Thank you Dan.
Dan is an absolute professional with compassion and attention to detail at the fore. He listens to your requirements and helping in making the right choice at a difficult time seem so easy. The workmanship is fantastic and would highly recommend Dan Bradford for ANY of your stone masonry work. Quality, Professional, Detailed and Great Value are all what describes Dan and his workmanship. Thanks again Dan.
Dan was first class from beginning to end. We couldn’t be happier with our stillborn son Harry’s headstone it exceeded our expectations. Dan will go out of his way to make sure you get what you want and asks you every step of the way that you are happy before he starts the work. The work itself is exceptional. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thanks Dan. You made this easier for us than we ever imagined it would be. Thanks again.
My family and I could not be more pleased with the renovation work undertaken by Mr Dan Bradford on the gravestone and surrounding grassed area of our parents' burial plot in the cemetry at New-Milton. Prior to Mr Banford's visit, the gravestone was in such dreadful condition that we doubted if it could be retored to any satisfactory degree. What we saw however when we were able to visit was not only a stone that had been fully restored to its former glory but also one that had been re-set and the surrounding sunken lawn rebuilt and seeded. The memorial gravestone is now literally as good as new. Thank you.
My family were so pleased with the headstone Dan had made he was so very kind and helpful from the beginning. Dan listened to our thoughts on how we wanted the stone to be like and created the perfect design we are so grateful to him for his friendly and approachable manner that he showed us at a very emotional time for all our family .We would not hesitate to recommend Dan to our family and friends as we know what good value for money and excellent quality of headstones they would receive
I used Dan as he was a guy on his own & not a big company. After looking at his reviews I felt quite confident about his workmanship. We arranged to meet at my husband’s plot & he talked me through everything. I found this personal touch lovely & he made the whole process easy & was very accommodating. I can’t tell you how delighted I am with the final result. It is far better than I imagined.
