A bespoke headstone allows families to create a truly personal memorial, designed and crafted to reflect a life lived. At Kelly Cowin Memorials, we specialise in custom headstones made to order, offering complete freedom of design, materials, finishes, and inscriptions.

We design and install bespoke headstones for families across Dublin and nationwide throughout Ireland, working closely with families and cemetery authorities to ensure every custom memorial is both meaningful and fully compliant.

What Makes a Bespoke Headstone

• Fully custom designs tailored to individual wishes
• Choice of granite colours, finishes, and stone types
• Hand-carved details and personalised inscriptions
• Traditional, modern, and one-off memorial designs
• Professional installation across Dublin and nationwide

Individually Designed Memorials

Unlike standard headstones, bespoke memorials are not limited to fixed shapes or layouts. Families may choose custom proportions, unique profiles, symbolic carvings, personalised lettering styles, or additional features that hold personal meaning.

Our experienced craftsmen guide each design from concept to completion, ensuring all aesthetic choices also meet structural requirements, cemetery regulations, and long-term durability standards.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Custom headstones are most commonly produced in premium granite due to its strength, durability, and ability to hold fine detail. A wide range of colours and finishes are available, including polished, honed, and textured surfaces.

Where permitted, other natural stones such as limestone or marble may also be considered for bespoke memorials, depending on design preferences and cemetery guidelines.
