Yew Tree Stone

Established in 2012, Yew Tree Stone has built a distinguished reputation as a specialist memorial masonry company serving Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, and Surrey. Our team combines over 60 years of industry experience with City & Guilds qualified memorial fixers, ensuring every project benefits from technical expertise and meticulous craftsmanship. We relocated to larger premises in Bodiam in 2015, enabling expanded service capabilities while maintaining our commitment to local, independent business values. All memorials come with a 20-year fixing guarantee, surpassing industry standards, and we are fully insured with Public Liability, Product Liability, and Employers Liability coverage. As the first East Sussex-based company listed on the British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons (BRAMM), we provide expert guidance on cemetery and churchyard regulations, material selection, and design compliance.

Our services include new memorials, renovation work, house plaques, pet memorials, and foundation stones, all crafted with precision and sensitivity. We offer free site visits and no-obligation quotations, working closely with clients to create lasting tributes that reflect personal stories and cherished memories. Our founders, Howard Whitelaw and James Young, bring extensive sector-specific expertise from their careers in stonemasonry management and hands-on memorial production. We maintain strong relationships with quarries and suppliers across the UK and internationally, offering diverse options including granite, marble, slate, and limestone. Every project receives individual attention, from traditional hand-cut lettering to modern machined designs, ensuring both aesthetic excellence and structural longevity.
