Broseley Memorials in short
Broseley Memorials is a family-run monumental mason on Broseley High Street, designing and fixing bespoke headstones in granite, marble, sandstone, slate and limestone. The firm has served local families since the mid-1980s, working stone on its own premises rather than ordering in finished pieces. Showroom visits and home visits are both offered, so you can talk through a design face to face. In our judgement, that combination of a long local record and a genuine bespoke workshop is what sets it apart.
The record shows new bespoke memorials alongside inscriptions and restoration work, serving Broseley and the wider Telford area. Customer evidence is strong: the firm holds 4.8 from 36 Google reviews, the deepest base among the memorial firms in the table. Its site also displays a NAMM mark linking to the memorial masons' association. We rate the breadth of that feedback, gathered over many years of trading, as the firm's clearest strength.
What counts against it is paperwork rather than craft. No insurance details appear on the site, and no memorial prices are published beyond a free quote and a monthly featured memorial at a special price. Our verdict is that Broseley Memorials suits anyone who wants a bespoke headstone from a long-established local mason and is comfortable requesting the missing paperwork with the quote. This review finds the craft record strong and the published detail thin.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Broseley Memorials suits you if you want a long-established Broseley mason for a bespoke headstone, backed by 36 Google reviews at 4.8 [4] and a stated NAMM membership [1]. The gaps are paperwork: no insurance details and no published prices beyond a free quote [1] [2].

Questions about Broseley Memorials
Is Broseley Memorials any good?
On the evidence, yes for bespoke headstones: it sits second in our Telford stonemasons table, holds 4.8 from 36 Google reviews, and has made memorials in Broseley for decades. Gaps sit in paperwork, with no insurance detail and no memorial prices published. Read the full review and its sources, then visit the showroom or request a home visit for an itemised quote.
Is Broseley Memorials registered with NAMM?
NAMM membership is shown on the business's own website, with the association's mark linking out to the trade body. The public NAMM member search is interactive, so no static register entry was available to check. For council cemetery work, confirm the mason also holds the council's own annual licence. Ask for the membership detail and the licence position together.
What does Broseley Memorials charge?
It publishes no memorial prices, call-out fee or VAT position; the site offers a free quote and a monthly featured memorial at a special price. That makes your written quote the whole price picture: send the stone, wording and burial ground, and request separate lines for fixing, fees and VAT. Confirm the total before the stone is ordered.
Where does Broseley Memorials work?
From its Broseley High Street showroom, with showroom visits and home visits both offered. Its stated service area covers Broseley and Telford. Memorial work routinely crosses into Shropshire churchyards and cemeteries, subject to each burial ground's own permission rules. Send your postcode and the burial ground name to confirm you are covered.
How do I get a quote from Broseley Memorials?
By phone, email or the contact form on its site, then a showroom visit or a home visit to settle stone, shape and wording. Have the cemetery or churchyard name and the plot type ready, since both shape the design and the permission. Ask for the sketch design and the itemised price together.
What do its reviews say?
The firm holds 4.8 from 36 Google reviews, the deepest review base among the memorial firms in the table. No other review platform returned a listing we could read. That depth is rare in a small trade round, and it underpins second place in the September round. Read a spread of the reviews yourself before you enquire.
How does it compare with the other Telford stonemasons?
It sits second behind Midland Masonry, ahead of Williams Memorials and Memorial Arts Stonemasons on review depth and length of record, and it offers home visits alongside its showroom. Williams suits choosing stone in person at Lawley; Memorial Arts suits a sculptor-designed one-off with a longer wait. None of the memorial firms publishes insurance detail. Read the reviews, then match the firm to your job.
How is Broseley Memorials ranked?
It ranks second of the seven stonemasons in our September round, scoring well across customer evidence, scheme membership on record, trading history and website detail. We looked first at what customers say, then scheme membership on record and trading history, where its long bespoke record tells. Read the full review, then request your itemised quote.
