Off to the Quarry

Raw Material Quarry Area

Large 3 metre saw cutting raw material into granite slabs

Just a few pictures of the quarry, where granite is cut into manageable pieces and shapes.
It was lovely to get out into the countryside with fresh air and wide open spaces. Working at the office in Johannesburg, I sometimes forget the sheer weight and size of the material we use to create beautiful, modern tombstones.

Large blocks from the quarry are cut down on the massive saws to create slabs which we are then able to cut, shape and polish into our tombstones.

The only way to move the granite when its in these kind of sizes is the use of forklifts

Polishing Bay

Row of polishing and cutting bays

Thank you for having a look at the pictures.

Why we only provide Quality Tombstones.

Over the last year we have had an alarming amount of tombstones that we have replaced from other tombstone companies, who  have let people down and have given them a cheap looking tombstone and they end up disappointed.

Even though we mention this to our prospective clients that we only use 1st grade granite and even though you might be able to get it cheaper from a small tombstone company, you get what you pay for. Its like comparing a luxury car with a second hand car.
BUT here at forget me not Tombstones you get the BEST at AFFORDABLE and REASONABLE
prices.
Because of this we want to actually show you what we mean and show you comparisons.

As you can see by the above examples, our tombstones are of a SUPERIOR quality.

We are so confident in our memorials we give a 25 YEAR GUARANTEE!

We also provide SOLID granite, we do not construct our memorials from pieces of granite that are meant for kitchen tops.

An example of a memorial we were asked to replace

This stone is made from 25mm pieces that are used for kitchen tops.

We could not even place a better colour for the wording because 

they did not even engrave the stone properly!

We only make use of 80mm thick granite on all our ranges

 except our economical range which is 60mm thick

Here at Forget me not Tombstones we understand that placing a memorial for a loved one is a very special part of the healing process  and that you only want the best for your loved one.

 We provide this to all our clients, from  customer service to unveiling invitations to installing the memorial.

We are there every step of the way.

All our prices include wording and graphics eg. praying hands, flowers etc - no restriction, 

installation in the JHB area, vat and 100 free unveiling invitations.

Diepkloof Square Business Expo - 16 June 2013

We were very lucky to take part in a small business expo at Diepkloof Square on the 16th of June 2013.
It started off being an incredibly cold and windy day, but as the sun warmed up, the weather improved.

The whole of the Forget me not Tombstones sale team was out in full force, with many cups of coffee to
keep the chill away we were all very excited to assist people with questions and inquiries.

We were very pleased to find that many people knew about our company and that we have  a good
 standing in the community. we were also pleasantly surprised to see some of our old clients!

We showcased a wide variety of statues,  bronzes, vases and a selection of photographs
 - glass and sandblasted that can be mounted onto any memorial.

With our full range of tombstone catalogues  with us as well as a informational brochure about our company, we were able  to assist many people.

It was a fun and busy day at the Expo,  and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. We are looking forward to participating in the next Expo.

We believe that being active in the community  is very important, and we enjoy interacting  with the public in order to inform them about our amazing tombstone prices,exceptional quality and our 25 year guarantee.

Also look out for articles in the Soweto Bulletin Community Newspaper,  written by Natascha Barry,
 which aim to assist and inform people about relevant topics for their lives.

Spring has Sprung!

The weather has definitely warmed up and its time to put the jerseys, coats and boots away and bring out the sandals and short sleeves!

This winter at Forget me not Tombstones has been incredibly busy and we have been pushing the design envelope again. From doing larger tombstones, mosaics, coloured engravings that are beyond anything we have done before to installing a beautiful "arty" tombstone.

Have a look for yourself

Coloured Engravings

A client wanted us to replace our traditional flowers with beautiful king proteas around a cross design. This is what our art department created!

New Mother Mary Statue

This Mother Mary is made from Porcelain and measures 35cm by 20cm. This is a perfect accessory for any memorial where you are looking for something special. The price at the moment is R600.00 Again brought to you from the hands of our art department.

New Little Angel Statue

We have searched for many months for a beautiful large angel to add to a child memorial or even for an adult tombstone. We have found this amazing angel which measures 50cm x 35 cm, we can leave it grey or we can paint the little angel to your requirements. We chose this angel because we feel it is just so serene and is not the traditional angels that are available. The price of this angel is R800.00 at the moment.

New Headstone Design Now Offered by Us!

We have been working on different  design options this winter, and we are excited to be able to offer you a stepped tombstone. Adding that something different to the memorial.

Our First Truly Abstract Tombstone

Our art department worked for months with our client to see there dream for this memorial come true.

this beautiful memorial is one of a kind. The striking sandblasted designs run from the main slab to the tiling around the tombstone creating one of the most elegant and abstract tombstone we have created.

We enjoyed this process immensely and look forward to more interesting and challenging designs!

Two Examples of Memorials we Installed

Installed Gallant (top) and Raegan (bottom). Names have been taken out to respect our client's privacy.

Large and Beautiful monuments!
