E. F. Mackie was established in 1887 and remains a
family business now run by its third generation.
With a combination of old traditions, skills
and modern technology, our aim is to give a high standard of service
and a first class memorial.
Choosing
a Granite Memorial:
Granite
comes in many different colours and from many parts of the world.
Although
black is still the most popular colour, over recent years many of
the different coloured granites have become more prominent in our
cemeteries.
Granite
is a very hard stone and stands up well to the elements. In most cases
granite is available in either fully polished or partly polished,
which means that the memorial is polished on the face where lettering
and ornamentation is carved and on the top of the base where flowers
are usually placed.
Sizes:
Granite
memorials are available in any size and thickness, although most cemeteries
and churchyards have their own regulations. Two of the most popular
sizes are 2ft 6in overall height made from 3in thick material and
2ft 10in made from 4in thick granite.
A
wide range of shapes are available.
Design:
The memorials on this website show a selection of floral and religious
designs.
We can also create a memorial based on your own special design.
