ALL RENOVATION WORK CARRIED OUT Company Registration Number Vat Reg Number Bramm Reg B02134 November '17 Dear Sir, I hope you are well! Memorial stones are one of those unfortunate necessities. We feel that everybody, no matter what their financial circumstances, has the right to be able to have a new memorial stone made or old ones renovated, in memory of their loved ones. For this reason we try to be able to cater for every budget. About Memorials Of Manchester Let us help you cherish those special memories Known as Memorials of Manchester, we are a long-serving company, specialising in a caring and professional service. Since Quality and perfection are our main priorities, we are constantly updating our ideas and standards of service, so that we can guarantee supplying our customers with the best service possible. We also specialise in providing a full range of options for all customers. Throughout this brochure, we have shown many different pictures and designs. However, limited space has not enabled us to show you the hundreds of different colours and designs we have available. As stated above there are many different types of stone available in hundreds of variations and colours. However, because of this, one has to be very careful when purchasing a memorial stone. There are many different grades of stone and a huge selection of quarries from all around the world supplying them. We supply the top grades available. Our company is well known for its superior quality and professional workmanship, which is why we supply not only Manchester, but many other locations, including London, Newcastle, Southport, Liverpool, Leeds, Blackburn, Blackpool and Preston.

2 We would like to point out, that we use only natural materials and therefore it is possible that when choosing one of the colours shown, an exact copy will not be possible, as the shading or graining is likely to differ slightly. Colours can also vary from one quarry to another. The types of stone most commonly used for memorial stones are: Yorkshire Sandstone, Marble and Granite. Yorkshire Sandstone This stone is quarried locally; it is a sandy material and can also change colour as a result of the weather. At one time this stone was very popular. As more choice is now available; people use it far less. An advantage of this stone is that it is cheaper than marble and the lettering itself stays in good condition. This stone is very durable. Marble The marble we use comes from Italy and is of the finest quality. However, there are two main problems with marble; the first is that it gets dirty very quickly. Secondly, it is a porous material and it will be harmed by the bad weather, especially the acid rain. Unfortunately, there is nothing anyone can do about this. The only thing we can do, is to supply the finest top grade marble, in order that it should not deteriorate as quickly as cheaper quality marble used by many other companies can do. The good thing about marble is that it is cost effective. We are at present working on a special chemical which will eventually be used to preserve memorial stones and stop them from reacting badly to weather conditions. When this will be completed, we will be the only stockist of this chemical solution. 2

Granite Granite is the most superior quality material available, which is why it is so popular. It is strong, long-lasting, easy to clean, attractive and non-porous.

3 Granite Granite is the most superior quality material available, which is why it is so popular. It is strong, long-lasting, easy to clean, attractive and non-porous. A tremendous amount of work goes into making this stone beautifully polished and ready to engrave, from its original raw state. The only disadvantage is the price. However, when you think about all the assets that this stone has, the price really does reflect this beautiful quality stone. Mixed Marble & Granite There is one option which some people go for and that is half marble, half granite. The advantage of this is that the marble brings down the cost of a memorial stone made only of granite, and the granite cover slab allows the stone and engraving to last a considerable length of time and also prevents the memorial stone absorbing the weather. 3
