I was able to design the memorial slate I wanted quickly on the website. I had made a spelling mistake, which was corrected by Rustic Stone from an answerphone message I then left. An email from them allowed me to check my order before proceeding then. From this point, it took seven days until delivery, although it could have been 10-12 days. I was delighted with the slate. It was well protected, so no risk of damage, it was outstanding quality, the slate being thick and the engraving was clear and precise.

I ordered a plaque for my late wife from Rustic Stone & I have to say the service I received from start to finish was absolutely first class. On their website is a simple to use design tool which you can use to add text in many different fonts, add a photograph of your loved one & even love hearts. Once I submitted my chosen design I was kept up to date with regular emails right through to the day of dispatch. Upon receiving the plaque I was more than pleased with the finished product. The high quality of the materials used is evident while the workmanship is of the highest standard. I would not hesitate in recommending Rustic Stone to anyone.

I wanted a memorial stone but not being too brilliant on a PC I was having a few problems getting the words fitted in correctly, I phoned to ask for assistance and Rustic Stone told me to put the words in that I wanted then send it to him to sort out. Well, he did just that as well as sending me a copy for approval. So glad that I requested assistance as the finished plaque is wonderful.

After looK into several local and online memorial masons we decided to purchase a slate memorial from Rustic Stone. The whole process was a breeze, from creating the initial design to taK delivery of the finished item. The online design tool was simple to use and we very quickly created the graphic layout desired, but you can submit your own design if you want to. The following day we received via email a proof for approval and following a few tweeks – all of which where proofed for approval to eliminate ambiguity – we gave the go ahead. The finished memorial arrived a week later and despite its size and weight it was more than adequately packed. The stone was beautiful while the engraved message was crisp and perfectly formatted….. and the cost too was more than reasonable.
