Appleby & Childs

Appleby & Childs, a renowned name in monumental masonry, has been serving families in Somerset, Dorset, Avon, and Wiltshire since 1886. The company, still proudly family-run after over 125 years, is dedicated to providing high-quality, personalised memorial services with a steadfast commitment to craftsmanship and customer care. We understand that a memorial is more than just a stone; it's a lasting tribute to a loved one's life and memory. That's why we work closely with each family, listening to their wishes and ensuring that the finished product is a beautiful and meaningful reflection of their unique bond.

Our Services

At Appleby & Childs, we offer a comprehensive range of memorial solutions crafted to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our experienced craftsmen expertly create a variety of headstones, gravestones, plaques, and memorials in our Yeovil workshops using a wide selection of materials, including granite, marble, and bespoke designs.

We understand the importance of personalisation and offer bespoke lettering and designs to ensure each memorial is truly unique. Ceramic photo plaques can be incorporated to add a cherished image, allowing families to keep their loved one's memory close. Additional inscriptions can be added at a later date, providing a space to commemorate anniversaries, birthdays, or other significant moments.

Beyond traditional headstones and gravestones, we also specialise in cremation stones, house signs, pet memorials, and commemorative plaques. These acknowledgements offer a fitting tribute and lasting remembrance for those we love, regardless of their passing.

Maintenance and Restoration

Recognising that memorials require care, we offer comprehensive maintenance plans to ensure they remain preserved for generations. Our skilled technicians also provide cleaning and restoration services, extending the life of your cherished tribute and bringing back its original lustre.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our ten-year structural guarantee, providing peace of mind and reassurance to our clients.
