Headstone Renovations & Restorations

Over the years, memorials can fade, weather, or become damaged — losing the detail and dignity they once had. At Kelly Cowin Memorials, we specialise in full headstone renovations and restorations, carefully bringing each memorial back to its original beauty.

Our restoration work is carried out with skill, precision, and deep respect, ensuring every grave is restored to a standard the family can be proud of.

What We Restore

We work on all types of memorials, including granite, marble, limestone, Celtic crosses, kerb sets, and old-style headstones.

Our renovation services include:

• Full stone restoration and resurfacing
• Re-levelling or rebuilding leaning or sunken headstones
• Repainting or re-gilding faded lettering
• Replacing broken bases or damaged plaques
• Restoring kerbing, chippings, slabs, and grave surrounds
• Repairing cracks, chips, and long-term weather damage

Every project is handled with care and attention to detail, ensuring the original style and character of the memorial is preserved.

Adding New Names & Inscriptions

Families often choose to add new names or inscriptions during a restoration. We ensure all new lettering matches the existing font, layout, and style — blending seamlessly with the original stonework.

How Much Does a Headstone Restoration Cost?

Pricing depends on the stone type, age, condition, lettering style, and extent of the repair work. We provide free, personalised quotes for every restoration.

Most families simply send us a photo, and we explain exactly what can be done — with clear pricing and no obligation.
