Jeff Woods & Nicky Lock
Hi Jeremy,
We have finally had the grass laid at the front of, “5 OTTER’S HOLT” and would like to thank you for all your help with the design and ordering. It looks so good and we are receiving lots of positive feedback. Our only regret, not being able to visualise the size of the grassed area before we ordered, is that we could have had a larger stone.
Once again many thanks for all your help.
From two very satisfied customers.

The Parrott Family
Hi Jeremy,
Just wanted to let you know that the stone arrived today safe and sound and it is beautiful. It is even better than we had hoped and it will be taking pride of place in our garden. The only sad part is that the person who would have appreciated the skill and craftmanship the most is not here to see it but it stands as a fitting tribute to a special person. Thanks again for all your patience and for creating something so beautiful that we will always treasure.
Kind regards
The Parrott family.
Sharon D
Thank you so much for the garden memorial that you designed and made for us. It has taken pride of place in our garden and the whole family now has closure on the death of their beloved pet.
I cannot recommend this company strongly enough to anyone wanting a memorial plaque! Their patience is astounding and the quality of the finished product went far beyond my hopes. A fitting stone for an amazing pet.
Regards and best wishes for the future,
Sharon.

Tabatha, my loving puss cat for 18.5 years passed away recently. We have a corner in the garden where in the spring I will add to the heather’s already planted there above her. I want to make a very pretty rockery as she was such a pretty girl and I also wanted a special ‘rock’ and I found it. Thank you Jeremy, it’s wonderful even with a fall of snow on it.

Hi, just received today my plaque for my 3 dogs. I was absolutely delighted & amazed at the quality . The picture you sent did not do it justice ! The craftsmanship is excellent. I was quoted 2 weeks but it came quicker.
I would use you again.
Thank you very much Lori.
Pamela
Hi Jeremy,
A belated but a heartfelt thanks for the manner in which you handled our online request for the OAKHILL house plaque. You adhered to your promise, delivered on time in January and the plaque was just perfect. It proved to be a very much appreciated gift by our son and daughter-in-law.
All the best for the year ahead and sincerely hope that the credit crunch passes you by.
Regards
Pamela.
Gina
Dear Jeremy,
I received the plaque yesterday, thank you, and just to let you know that we are thrilled with it. The finished quality is excellent and it was very well wrapped for its transit. My poor sheep are struggling at the moment after 2 very heavy falls of snow here this week. I also took 3 additional sheep from the RSPCA at the weekend – they had been abandoned over Christmas, but are now enjoying lots of TLC with me here!!
Thank you again for your excellent service.
Best wishes
Gina.

Hello Jeremy,
Just to let you know that the stone sign arrived safely.. and is absolutely beautiful.It went to the Cardiff address for some reason, but my painter and decorator is coming back here next week and will pick it up to bring with him. I will send you a photo for your website once it’s up (sometime next week after the cottage has been painted) as we’ve just installed an oak porch and this will now complete a very impressive frontage..
Many thanks for your superb and very smooth service.
Best wishes

What a great and hassle free service this has been. The stone engraving is very competitively priced, and the customer support is second to none. My sign looks wonderful and really puts that finishing touch to the front of the cottage. The mock-ups were very helpful and the personal touch to your responses made me feel that my custom was valued. Many thanks for everything!
Maureen
Thank you for the pet memorial stone – and for posting it abroad! It is just perfect… very tasteful. The font preview tool was very useful. It arrived this morining and I put it in the garden straight away, in a quiet little corner that gets lots of sun, where Lucy loved to sit. A beautiful way to remember my little Lucy!
Thanks again.

This is just to say a huge thank you for the time spent creating the stone memorial to our son Adrian who died aged 27. Not only is the finished stone beautifully crafted but the time and patience shown by you was such a comfort and allowed us to get exactly the right thing without once ever feeling under any pressure to make a purchase or make a decision. If anyone is looking to create a memorial stone for a loved one, I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. I promise you – you will not be disappointed. So, thank you Jeremy for making what could have been a daunting task a huge pleasure. The stone you made for us will go with us for the rest of our lives.
With our thanks and very best wishes
Kay Sudbury.

Thanks again.

Thankyou so much for all of your much needed help you gave us when faced with such a difficult task. My stepson Lee passed away in April this year, aged 26,and it was so very difficult to find a stone that would help us complete the tribute he deserved, he was and remains so very special and you dont know how much you have helped us. Your patience and understanding was amazing; you were a pleasure to deal with, thankyou again so very much…
Maggie
Hi Jeremy,
As promised here’s a photo of the stone in situ. We finally had the “ceremony” last week. All went well, the stone was much admired and already it has become a focus for all the tenants that Brian assisted over the years.
Thanks once again
Maggie.
Jason
Thank you again for your help and craftsmanship on this stone for my father. We had a remembrance ceremony for him in July and I thought I would send a photo of the final location for you. This is in Northern Ontario on Lake Penache.
All the best
Jason.
Jan Manser
Mum is delighted with the sign for her new home – she had it in the back of the car before we put it up so she could show it to everyone she knew! It’s beautifully finished – you should be proud of yourself – it’s a quality product, and it arrived well ahead of schedule.
Thanks again.

The house sign arrived safely this week.
I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with it. The mock up you sent did not do the finished piece justice. It looks absolutely great on the Cottage.
Thank you again for the great service and excellent product.

James.
Michael
Hi Jeremy,
Just to let you know that the plaque arrived a few days ago; much more quickly than expected and very securely wrapped, thanks.
We didn’t open it until yesterday when I took it to my mother’s. We’re all very happy with it. I think it’ll look great by the standard tree we intend to plant and I think it will age very well.
Thanks again,
Michael.
Terry
I have been meaning to email you and let you know how very pleased I was with the stone. It turned out beautiful. My husband likes it so much he refuses to put it outside, he has it sitting in his den next to his wood stove J.
Thank you for such a beautiful job.
Terry.

Tim
I had wanted to contact you before to say a big thank you for the slate sign that you despatched before Christmas but things have run away with me.
The sign is fantastic and my wife was thrilled. I’ve got to say that the quality and “design” of the slate way exceeded my expectations. It’s a very fitting aesthetic piece to front the gates to our house. Your service was exceptional and I can’t thank you enough for turning it around so quickly before Christmas. It was with slight trepidation that I ordered the piece (internet phobia !) but I am delighted with the sign and with your help in choosing the right slate.
Thanks very much
Tim.
Caroline
Hi Jeremy,
I just wanted to let you know that my sister and brother-in-law are delighted with the stone and have commented on how lovely the engraving is.
So thank you again for your high quality product and service delivery. You can rely on my future business.

Rachel
Hi Jeremy,
We received Wellington’s memorial yesterday (and did get an e-mail eventually) and I just wanted to drop you a note to say how utterly beautiful it is.
It is really stunning and such great value for money when you compare it to other memorials available. Although it made me sob my heart out putting the stone in its resting place, it is so beautiful that I know I will smile looking at it when remembering Welly.
Thank you so very much
Rachel
Ste
Hi Jeremy,
It’s arrived….!!! It looks great too, and exactly what I expected. It really looks the part mate. A happy chappy….my wife will love it I’m sure.
Thanks again for all your help, and please pass on my thanks to the rest of the team.
Lorraine Foulger
Dear Jeremy,
Just to let you know the memorial stone for our beloved cat Paddy arrived as promised yesterday. We are absolutely delighted with it and was moved to tears to see his name, our sentiments and the paw marks engraved so beautifully on the slate.
It will take pride of place under the oak tree where Paddy is buried and will be a forever reminder of how much he was loved and is still so very much missed.
I had no doubt you would come through for us again, this being our 4th pet memorial from Rustic Stone so all our precious cats now have fitting tributes where they are resting peacefully.
With best wishes
Lorraine
Happy with our Service?

May 2nd, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Dear Jeremy,
I’ve just arrived home from my short break in the Lake District to find your slate waiting for me. Jeff hadn’t opened it because he was respectfully waiting for my return, bless him. How about that for respect?
Well, dear friend and kindred spirit, we opened it together, and the pair of us simply dissolved into tears the moment your work came into view. It is simply beyond beautiful and it’s everything I was hoping to give to Jeff by way of a thank you and to say “I understand” what this place in the country is to him. We recently lost Jeff’s Mum, his best friend and his beloved dog, Holly, closely followed by 13 more losses of our nearests and dearest family, so the whole ethos of our new Lakeland home is about finding him (and me too) a quiet, serene place where he/we can recover. Your stone says everything..simply everything. Most especially, it says, please understand. Please give us some space. Please respect our need for peace and we’ll be with you as soon as we can. How did you manage that, Jeremy, without me ever telling you in any detail? God bless you. You’ve done something here that only an artist’s heart could ever achieve. You listened to the quiet still voice inside; the whisper in your heart and acted upon it.
I ran upstairs to write to you but now I’m finding myself utterly stuck for words and that’s saying something because writing is my craft and trade.
Jeremy, I simply don’t know what to say to you by way of thanks. You did indeed put your heart and soul into what you have created for us here and I feel so glad I trusted your artistry and let you loose to follow your heart because, boy, did you! When I asked you to work from your heart, I could not possibly have expected that you would get it so right, yet instinctively I knew I could trust you without doubt. This wasn’t an “ordinary” job and I knew from your examples on the website that you were no “ordinary” artist. I just didn’t want to burden you with the ins and outs of it all. Yet somehow you just knew. Do I take it then that your soul was listening to mine? Yes. 100% yes!
Jeff wants you to know that somehow you’ve re-visited for him St. Ninian’s Cross and St. Aidan’s Cross – both of which have huge significance for him so I have to take it that his angels talked to my angels who in turn talked to your angels who talked directly to you, and somehow you’ve then got it completely right – beyond right. I don’t know quite how such things happen but I’ve long trusted that they do.
I’m so sorry that you have had to wait for this response because of my absence. Under different circumstances, you’d have been replied to immediately so please forgive the delay.
Paying you a small monetary sum I hope helps recognise the earth bound side of things. But please know that there is no amount of money, no expression of thanks and no email that could ever express to you what your beautiful, divine work of art has meant in this house today and for a very long time in the future.
Can I just tell you that your stone has been washed with our tears but they were tears of joy because if there’s one thing we are it’s artists and the first thing we ever do is recognise other artists along the way.
Please reply to this email just so I know that you’ve received it and that you feel the warmth of our love, thanks, joy and peacefulness in what you have created for us here.
Bless you, friend and kindred spirit,. Never, ever doubt that you are truly one of the few rare artists who not only works from his soul but also hears the soul of his clients and reaches out in perfect understanding to create something of immeasurable value that will last indefinitely.
Not many can say they have achieved that very rare and special gift, much as many of us may try. I do so hope I have found sufficient words to express it to you but if you’re in any doubt, please may I just say I love you for what you have done for us and please don’t ever question it. Funny isn’t it, that we’ve never met yet you’ve achieved something here that few souls ever achieve in a lifetime of knowing each other? You’ve spoken soul to soul, heart to heart in way the finest poet could ever could dream of doing.
So let’s just call it “poetry in stone”, shall we? How does that feel to you?
With love and heartfelt, even tearful gratitude. Please reply because I so want to know that you ‘get it’ and understand just how much this means to us.

We lost our faithful, loving corgi, Teddy, in February 2008. That was easily the worst day of our lives. The pain was intensely raw for weeks after. Once we had his ashes returned to us, we wanted a place in our garden for them, and a fitting memorial stone for our beloved dog.
We found Jeremy’s website, rusticstone.net, and liked what we saw. We emailed and telephoned Jeremy: we found him charming, sympathetic and infinitely patient. We ordered a stone, Jeremy sent us a photo, we liked it, confirmed our order and awaited delivery. The parcel arrived, beautifully wrapped, but to our concern the plaque wasn’t quite right. It was nobody’s fault, but we agonised for days – should we contact Jeremy? In the end, we did. Again he was nothing but charming, sympathetic and infinitely patient. We talked and agreed a solution.
A second stone duly arrived. And it is perfect! I’m writing this in November 2009. We still haven’t been able to put Teddy’s ashes to rest, but his memorial stone is beautiful and will serve its purpose magnificently when the time comes. I’m guessing Jeremy spends much of his time talking to emotionally-charged clients who have suffered deep distress. Be assured – with Jeremy of rusticstone.net, you are in safe hands.
May 11th, 2010 at 11:03 am
Rustic Stone have just completed a stone for my mother’s grave and I would just like to comment on how easy it was to use their website and how smoothly the whole process was. The stone looks lovely and is finished to a high degree.
May 12th, 2010 at 10:31 am
Just a line to say thank you very much for the lovely sign which arrived safely yesterday and is now in place on our house. It is a stunning piece of craftsmanship, very distinctive and individual and a really pleasing complement to our home. I attach a couple of photos.
May 15th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
Dear Jeremy and team
Thank you so much for the memorial stone which arrived in perfect order. It is a dignified memorial for our beautiful dog.
It is near his favourite spot in the garden.
We are delighted at the quality of the product and the great service from start to finish. I will thoroughly recommend you.
Thank you

Hi Jeremy,
Sorry i’ve taken so long to send a picture and thank you for the beautiful house sign which took up pride of place at our new house in December 09!
Thanks for taking time to find the right shape of rock for me and tinkering with my design ideas, i love it and think it looks great outside our home “Rocky Falls”!
I would’nt hesitate to recomend you!
Thanks again, Lynne and family x

Dear Jeremy and team,
Thank you so much for the beautiful stone for ‘Daisy’s Garden’ which you made for us in memory of our beautiful Granddaughter. It is placed in a special part of our garden dedicated to her and, as her Mom and Dad live in America, this is our only way to pay tribute to her. We are thrilled with it and I’m so glad that I found your website.
Regards
Sue

Hi – sorry for the delay – I have been meaning to leave this message for you since we took delivery of the beautiful headstone dedicated to our much loved dog, Jaffa. Just wanted to say how delighted we were at the workmanship and skill that had gone into making the beautiful stone that we received. It was exactly how I imagined having a headstone for my dearly missed pet. It stands in pride of place in a lovely corner of our garden where “she can see the swallows” in the summer who were her great playmates.
Thank you once again for providing us with a lovely, long lasting reminder of our dear dog.

A quick note to let you know that the slate name-plate arrived and is already in place (see photo attached).
I am most grateful to you for all aspects of the service that you have given: we are thrilled with the end-product and impressed by the speed with which the package arrived, even to these remote parts! I will have no hesitation in recommending Rustic Stone to anyone who’s looking for the sort of thing you do – everything about the ordering on line was really straightforward and helpful, your own prompt and personal communication was much appreciated, and your generosity in the face of the slight mix-up (which was probably as much my doing as anyone’s!) was a welcome change from the sort of service all too often encountered today: and, as I’ve said before, I’m most grateful to you for ensuring that the slate was ready and arrived within the relatively short-time scale which I’d requested.
You have one (another!) very satisfied and extremely grateful customer!
Warm regards as ever

Hi Jeremy
Thank you so much for our cat memorial stone. Dibbley was our much loved family cat for 15 years so we wanted to mark her being a part of our lives with something special – & this certainly is. We have placed the stone close to where she is buried & next to a little ‘pussy willow’ tree that we have planted in her honour.
Regards

Our sign has been much admired and we think it has just the right feel for our home – a friendly font, simple and clear. The slate was much thicker than we expected, and the engraving was deep, so this is very much a quality product made with care. We chose ‘invisible’ fixings which proved easy and have added to the neatness of the sign. Many thanks for exceeding our expectations and we will have no hesitation in recommending you.

Hi Jeremy,
Superb ! Brilliant ! Impressive !
Very many thanks for the well packed, speedy delivery of this house sign for our wee ‘But n Ben’ at Glenelg on the West Coast of Scotland. Exactly what I had hoped for… chunky and rustic but clearly skilfully made !
Incredibly heavy too…. I love it !

A belated thank you for the wonderful memorial stone commemorating our much missed cat Cleo. It is sitting at the bottom of the garden, a place that she loved dearly, and the family love it. When it arrived we joked that it rather summed up our plush puss – big, black and heavy!
Many thanks again!

Dear Jeremy
I arrived back from holiday to find the memorial stone which I had ordered, so that I could mark my Grandparents Grave. I have been on this project for over a year finding the grave and then getting copies of the dealth certificates. A great thank you for all your help and assistance. The plaque has now marked the grave for all to see and cherish.
Thank you again Julie

Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for the lovely job you did at such short notice to provide the house sign for my wife’s Mum. It is fantastic and worth every penny to see how happy she is now with her new house sign.
Your communication with the whole process was excellent and the sign arrived well packaged exactly on the day you said it would. Hopefully when my wife and I retire we will be looking for you to provide a house sign for us too.
Many thanks

We have sadly lost two of our beloved dogs over the past eighteen months. On both occasions Jeremy at Rustic Stone was extremely helpful, and provided beautiful memorial stones for our boys’ resting place. His work is exemplary, absolutely what we had hoped for, and on truly magnificent quality slate. The stones arrived promptly and had obviously been created and packaged with care. I cannot recommend his work highly enough. Marcus James, former Dad to Eric and little Theodore.

Thank you very much for your excellent service. The house sign arrived early this morning and I am extremely pleased with it. Once fixed to the cottage it will probably attract some enquiries and, if so, I will certainly recommend you.

Hi Jeremy
Just wanted to say thank you very much for the lovely memorial you made for our cat Tigger. I was very pleased with it. It will look lovely in the garden next to the one you made me 18 months ago for our other cat, Thomas.
Many thanks

Hi there
The plaque arrived this morning and I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with it. I didn’t expect anything so ‘substantial’ given the price. My daughter, whose cat it commemorates, is going to be so thrilled when she sees it … after she’s burst into tears that is!
Thank you
