Founded in 1836, James Beresford & Sons is proud to continue its tradition of providing excellent customer service and bespoke memorials - at affordable prices.

A memorial is a lasting tribute that acknowledges the life of your loved one.  Let us help you to design a memorial that is every bit as special as that person.

We offer a hand-crafted, bespoke range of memorials and headstones (included Islamic kerb memorials, Jewish headstones, Ukrainian memorials - and even pet memorials), in our Derbyshire workshops at competitive prices and a service that's second to none.

We have a highly skilled team of Monumental Masons and Sculptors who offer a comprehensive selection of Lawn Memorials, Cremation Stones,/Tablets, Kerb Sets, Children's and Baby Memorials and Memorial Vases.  All memorials can be tailored to individual requirements, design, size, material, finish and flower facilities.

All work is carried out by Barrie Price, Joint Proprietor of James Beresford & Sons, and his team of fellow craftsmen.  This includes the design, creation and fixing of your loved one's Memorial.

In addition to Memorials, we offer a full range of house signs and pet headstones / memorials using Welsh Slate, Hopton Wood Limestone, Derbyshire Grit Stone and other natural, durable, materials.

What really sets us apart from our competitors is our ability to create a memorial to your exact specification, with hand etched or carved designs, at very little extra cost. 

We have a special computer programme which can space your inscription layout, to scale, whilst you wait.  We are also happy to provide you with complimentary printouts of the draft layout on your first visit.

Your letters can be hand cut if preferred.  Alternatively, we can use the more modern sandblasted method.  All gilding is carried out by hand using 23.5 carat gold leaf to ensure the brightest of finishes.  Our silver enamelled letters look equally stunning and receive three coats of enamel, over three days, to ensure a shiny, robust finish which will last as long as the gold.

Give us a call to discuss your requirements, arrange an appointment or, if you're passing, just pop in and see us.  We look forward to welcoming you to our showroom in the near future.

An experienced member of our team is always available to show you examples of work in progress or finished memorials before they leave our premises.  In addition, Barrie Price, Proprietor of James Beresford & Sons, is available to meet clients by appointment.
