Memorial Mason | Experience and Craftsmanship

Paul brings extensive knowledge and experience of memorial masonry to Denton Memorials. With an understanding of different stone types, memorial design and installation, he takes pride in helping families create lasting tributes that are personal, carefully crafted and built to last.

Alongside his work at Denton Memorials, Paul is actively involved with the National Association of Memorial Masons (NAMM), serving on its council and undertaking work as a licensed assessor. Through this involvement, he contributes to the training and professional standards that support safe memorial installation across the industry.
