In the 1930’s, Percival Brant, a Fellow of the Guild of Lettering Craftsmen, started the business that still bears his name from an open-fronted workshop next door to his house, ‘The Vale’, in School Lane, Bushey.In 1959 the business moved to its current premises in Park Road and was run by Percival and his two sons Neville and Christopher.Now managed by Neville’s sons, the company is still committed to Percival’s ideals of craftsmanship and personal attention.

A MEMORIAL IS A TRIBUTE TO A LIFE NOW EnDED; AN ENDUrING REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE THAT ARE FOREVEr IN OUR THOUGHTS.

HE SELECTION OF A MEMORIAL IS A VERY IMPORTANT

DECISION WHICH DEMANDS MORE THAN A LITTLE

THOUGHT. OUR EXPERIENCE IN THE MEMORIAL

BUSINESS IS YOUR GUARANTEE OF A COMPLETE,

CARING AND QUALITY SERVICE.

Within this brochure you will find a whole range of memorial designs and materials. It should be remembered that any shape or design can be produced in any material and that all ornaments are interchangeable.

Memorials are produced in a number of materials:

GRANITES are some of the hardest materials known to man. Available in a wide range of colours from around the world, they are able to take a fully polished finish.

MARBLE is a metamorphic rock which carves well enabling fine detail. White Italian Marble with blue/grey veining and Dove Grey Marble are commonly used for memorials.

SLATE is a lamina material available in green and blue/black it is more durable than marble but can still be fine carved.

SANDSTONE is softer and less dense than granite. Local variations determine the colour from the browns of York Stone to light grey Serena Stone.

LIMESTONE is a sedimentary rock that comes in a variety of colours including the creamy-coloured Portland Stone which is commonly used in Churchyards and the dark grey of Celtic Lime Stone.

We are happy to advise you with your choice of memorial material, design and inscription. Layouts and proofs of inscriptions will always be available.

REST AFTER WEARINESS PEACE AFTER PAIN

DEARLY LOVED, SADLY MISSED

TO LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WE LOVE IS NOT TO DIE

DEEP IN OUR HEARTS YOU WILL ALWAYS STAY, LOVED AND REMEMBERED EVERYDAY

THROUGH ALL THE TEARS AND HEARTACHE, THERE’S ONE THING FOR WHICH I’M GLAD, THAT YOU CHOSE ME TO SHARE WITH YOU,

THOSE PRECIOUS YEARS WE HAD

TO MEET YOU AGAIN ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE, WHERE PARTING’S UNKNOWN

AND LIFE EVERMORE

AND LOVE SHALL LIVE, THOUGH DEATH MAY PART

TODAY, TOMORROW AND ALL LIFE THROUGH, WE SHALL ALWAYS LOVE AND REMEMBER YOU

DANCE IN HEAVEN AS YOU DANCED ON EARTH

WE CANNOT HALT THE HANDS OF TIME NOR LIVE AGAIN THE PAST

BUT WE WILL LOVE AND THINK OF YOU AS LONG AS LIFE WILL LAST

AS WE LOVE YOU, SO WE MISS YOU

GOODNIGHT, GOD BLESS

PEACE, PERFECT PEACE

MEMORIES ARE KEEPSAKES, TREASURED FOREVER

WE HOLD YOU CLOSE WITHIN OUR HEARTS, AND THERE YOU WILL REMAIN,

TO WALK WITH US THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

SAY NOT IN GRIEF THAT HE IS NO MORE BUT IN THANKFULNESS THAT HE WAS

LOVE NEVER FAILETH

YOU HELD OUR HANDS FOR AWHILE BUT OUR HEARTS FOREVER

HIS LIFE A BEAUTIFUL MEMORY HIS ABSENCE A SILENT GRIEF

A LIGHT FROM OUR HOUSEHOLD GONE A VOICE WE LOVED IS STILL

A PLACE IS VACANT IN OUR HOME WHICH NEVER CAN BE FILLED
