Each large memorial pebble is a natural flint or chert river stone, 15-20 cm long, engraved with your chosen words and icon for a person or pet (epitaph suggestions). The large pebble gives you the most room, with up to three lines of engraving, so it suits a name, dates an icon and a short epitaph together. This engraved memorial pebble becomes a personal marker, shaped by the natural character of the pebble itself.
Formed from naturally rounded river pebbles, every piece is different in colour, texture and shape. These variations give each stone its presence, whether placed on its own or alongside others in a garden, woodland, by water, or somewhere else that matters.
Dates are engraved in numerical format, for example, 24.01.2026.
Our memorial stones are also available as part of our farewell set, which you can find here

Your engraving design
Have an idea for how you want it laid out – one line in larger font, or where you want the icon to be placed. Please add this detail in here.
We provide guidelines on the number of words per line to ensure your engraving is clearly legible and beautifully presented. Exceeding the recommended number may affect the quality and readability of the engraving. Please contact us before ordering if you have specific requirements, and we will do our best to help.
Yes – our large and medium pebbles allow upto 3 lines of text whilst our small and wood pebbles allow upto 2 lines of text.
Make sure you select the number of lines you require AS WELL AS entering your personalised words. Additional lines of engraving are priced at £6 per line.
We strongly recommend keeping to the 12-character recommendation; longer lines result in smaller font size in order to fit into the available engraving space.
Yes, you absolutely can. Pets are family, and we believe their memory deserves a dedicated place. Our engraved personalised memorial stones are a perfect, lasting way to honour a beloved companion—whether they were a cat, dog, rabbit, horse, or another cherished friend.
Many families choose to place these natural, engraved stones at a favourite spot in the garden or a woodland burial site. Others prefer our small memorial pebble (10–12 cm), which is designed to be held in the hand or kept in a pocket as a personal, comforting reminder. They also make a thoughtful, enduring gift for anyone grieving the loss of a pet.
We can engrave small icons (like our heart, dove or a paw print) with our lettering, but we do not offer engraved photos on our memorial stones. If you have a bespoke request or want something a little out of the ordinary, please email us with your ideas and image icons, and we will do our best.
