Monuments — Kerb sets

Kerb sets cut
to close on site.

Full and half surrounds, corner posts, covers and chipping trays — mitred, dry-fitted at the works and numbered so your setter is not cutting stone in a cemetery.

Full, half and foot kerbs Square · chamfered · half-round · moulded Cover slabs & chipping trays Mitres dry-fitted here Matched to the headstone block

Twelve surrounds,
cut to your plot sizes.

Send the grave size and the cemetery's rule sheet — kerb lengths follow from those two, not from a catalogue.

What a full set
is actually made of.

Six pieces and a headstone. Each one is a separate line on the quotation, and each one is cut from the same block run.

Headstone Head kerb Side kerbs Foot kerb Vases
  • Head kerbSits under the headstone base, usually the heaviest section in the set.
  • Side kerbsCut to the plot length, mitred or butted at the corners as your setter prefers.
  • Foot kerbOften carries the second inscription or the family name.
  • Corner postsOptional, with or without a chain run between them.
  • InfillCover slab, chipping tray or left open for planting — decide before cutting, it changes the kerb depth.

Four kerb profiles,
in section.

The profile changes the price more than the length does. Square is standard; moulded work takes the longest.

Square CuttingStandard Plain rectangular section. The default on most cemetery sheets and the quickest to cut.
Chamfered CuttingOne extra pass Top arrises taken off at 45°, so the edge does not chip when it is walked on or mown against.
Half round CuttingShaped top Rounded top face — soft under the hand, sheds water and cleans easily.
Moulded (ogee) CuttingLongest to cut Profiled face in the traditional manner. Slowest of the four, and the one older cemeteries expect.

Kerbs are commonly 4 × 3 in or 6 × 4 in section on a 6 ft or 7 ft plot, but cemetery rules decide this, not us — send the sheet and the drawing comes back inside it.

Mitres closed here,
not in the cemetery.

A kerb set is only as good as its corners. Every set is laid out and dry-fitted at the works before it is numbered and crated.

Match the headstone,
not the catalogue.

Kerbs sit beside the memorial for decades. Ordered together they come off the same block; ordered a year apart they rarely match.

SizesCut to the plot, not to a standard. Send the cemetery's maximum footprint and the kerb lengths are worked back from it.
CornersMitred for a continuous line, or butted where the setter prefers to bed each piece separately.
FinishesPolished top with sawn sides is the usual spec; flamed tops where the kerb is walked on.
LetteringFoot kerb inscriptions and family names, sandblasted and painted or gilded.
FixingsDowel holes cut at the joints, stainless pins supplied with the set.
PackingEach piece numbered to the plan, faces boarded, sets crated complete so nothing is hunted for on site.

Send the plot size
and the cemetery's rule.
