Burial Mounds & Stone Barrows
About Stone Barrows, Burial Mounds & Cairns
Burial mounds, stone barrows and cairns offer a timeless way to honour a loved one, drawing inspiration from ancient traditions while incorporating modern memorial ideas.
Inspiration for Stone Barrows
Contemporary stone barrows are set in beautiful locations and are places where ashes can be interred in niches. They are handcrafted in a traditional, neolithic style and offer a peaceful and uplifting final resting place.
Burial Mounds
Burial mounds are usually covered in grass so that they blend in with the landscape. Some have trees planted on the top or they are surrounded by wildflowers and plants. They are often located in peaceful locations, sometimes on hilltops with beautiful views.
Stone Cairns
Stone Cairns are created from small stacked stones and they tend to house cremated ashes or have memorial plaques.
