Beautiful memorial

At our saddest of times we found Adrian a stonemason who took time to listen and get to know our family. Because of this the memorial he made is absolutely perfect, beautiful stone, carefully and lovingly carved , it is stunning. Nothing was too much trouble for Adrian, he was happy to adapt and discuss ideas and his years of experience meant we could trust his judgment. Our beautiful sto...ne has helped bring peace.

Welcome to Auckland Memorials, the home of beautiful letter carving and beautiful memorial stones in the North East carved by a genuine time honored craftsman.

Auckland Memorials was founded by master mason Adie Hopper who, as well as having a lifelong passion for the art of the carved letter, is a passed mason to Durham Cathedral as well as a college and university graduate. Now with experience spanning three decades some of the most beautiful memorials in Northern England are produced here.

Sometimes in your life you have to make some difficult decisions.

Adrian with his caring and understanding nature helped my wife and I through our personal situation.
His experience, dedication and commitment created a headstone that is wonderful tribute to our beloved son.
His craft and attention to detail produced inscriptions of the highest quality, at which the family take some comfort, to their late wonderful son.
Thank you Master Craftsman Adrian.

Outstanding Service and a Simply Exquisite, Bespoke Memorial

5
I searched a lot of memorial masons, spoke to a few before deciding Adrian was the right choice for us. Having previously worked for a stone mason designing bespoke memorials I had an idea of what I wanted and the skill set it would require to bring it to fruition. Adrian took the ideas and thoughts I had with regards to Dad's memorial and made them into reality with such care, skill and craftsmanship - all of which is second to none. The result is a memorial which is fitting, exquisite and simply beautiful. I can't thank him enough. The way he worked with me to help to bring my vision to life was amazing. He was kind and took a genuine interest in me, my family and of course my Dad. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or his services to anyone.
