N & B Calder Limited

I have had an inscription added to a gravestone. They were very helpful and provided a timely response to my enquiry and for completion of the work.

Ordered a stone from Calders for my late husband grave
From the moment we entered the showroom the staff there were excellent
Were shown some samples they had and then looked through the catalogue
Choice of design decided and within a few minutes they had a computer drawing was ready
Was advised that stone would be erected in about 6 weeks time maybe sooner
Highly recommend Calders when you require a memorial

Fantastic service from the word go. Very helpful staff to provide guidance and advice on helping us choose what we wanted. Smooth transaction from concept to delivery of the product thank you very much.

Cannot thank these guys enough for making the most perfect memorial for my baby boy. So supportive and helpful throughout.

I have had the most pleasurable experience with all at N & B Calder
When I first arrived at there premises . I was grieving the passing of my mum . Esther made me feel better and totally understood how difficult it was for me , it was a huge thing to choose a gravestone and wording for someone so special and after many changes . We came up with the perfect wording . Leo was also amazing, as he had to do the changes on the computer and nothing was too much effort . When I visit my mum's grave now , I am proud of how beautiful and meaningful it is for her . I can highly recommend the most wonder care and attention ., you will be given .
Thanks again Esther and Leo

I was recommended to use NB Calder even though we live in Dundee. This was the best decision I made. I gave them a 30-year-old picture to add to the headstone, and they have worked wonders on an old, grainy photo. The headstone is stunning, the staff very friendly and helpful, and very professional. I would strongly recommend this company to anybody and everybody.

Dealt with Esther from the outset. Their professionalism shone from the start.

What is a difficult time, their compassion and approach made the whole process that much easier.
They were just so very fine….

You could not ask for more from a company, such a lovely personal touch

Work carried out in a very professional manner.
Both the cleaning and lettering on both the grave stones are perfect.

Very helpful as friendly staff. Good advice and nothing was a bother. Would definitely recommend

N & B Calder carried out re-gilding and cleaning of a headstone for me. They were extremely helpful throughout the process. Their quote was competitive and their communication excellent. They carried out the work quickly and sent me a photo afterwards. I am very happy with the work and wouldn't hesitate to use their services again if necessary.

Gravestone was perfect

This was the second time we have used N and B Calders . The first time was for the head stone of our late mother and the compassion shown to us was second to none . Sadly to say we have used there services again due to the loss of our dad and once again their professionalism and caring attitude made a very difficult job manageable . A big thank you for the amazing craftsmanship on the headstone and a very big thank you to Esther who helped us along the way and even made us smile , once again our whole family thanks you.

Went to N&B Calder to get some ideas of a stone and the service i received from start to finish was excellent. Was advised and guided throughout allowing me to purchase exactly what I wanted and the end product was first class. Great team and highly recommend.

N & B Calders have made a lovely job of the engraving on my parents headstone. Quick, reliable, very reasonable and no hassle.

Headstone was re-faced and engraved. This involved removal of the stone and plinth, a new foundation added and the stone re-erected on completion.
Esther and her team were very experienced and helpful in organising the layout of the text and choosing the appropriate font, all of which are an important part of the overall look.
Throughout the process, we were updated on progress and when the headstone was re-erected, it had been cleaned giving it the appearance of a new one.
The family are very happy with the service received, and the layout and appearance of the new headstone.
The service from N&B Calder has been compassionate and professional from start to finish.

Many thanks

Esther and Leo at N&B Calder could not have shown more professionalism and kindness to our family as we chose a memorial stone for my husband. The stone is exactly as we wanted it - the design, workmanship and finish are all faultless. The advice and guidance we received was very much appreciated. Our expectations were managed in terms of timescales for the finished stone to be in place, and communication was excellent.

This company did the headstone for my father's grave, and have done a wonderful job. It's exactly what we wanted, and was done quickly.

Just had the memorial stone erected for my wife and l. It looks absolutely brilliant.
I had an idea of what l wanted for us, but when l got there, l was recommended an alternative option of a new design they had just got in. It was a far better design, than l had gone with and was complimentary to the ideas l had.
I was invited to check samples of the laser etching l had on part of the stone and they were adjusted as requested. When l saw the final design in place l could not have been more happier. It exceeded my initial ideas and will be a fitting tribute to my wife Maddi and l for decades to come.
I can not compliment the staff, there suggestions and service enough. They made the whole process very easy and seamless.

We had to add another death to our headstone. Service we received was very helpful and efficient. The letters matched perfectly. Job well done. Would recommend.

We had a complete headstone etc . Amazing job done and so fast for family to see when home from Australia. Thank you so much

N & B Calder were excellent. Thank you for creating a perfect tribute. You were so kind, caring and helpful at a very sad time.

Esther and Leo have been absolutely amazing. We’ve used N & B now three times. Cannot fault their workmanship. They showed empathy and respect each time. Very helpful with their guidance and understanding in helping us achieve exactly what we required. Professional and very knowledgeable. All three headstones were efficiently designed and placed quickly. Nothing was an issue, and they were thorough in checking dates and spelling. Highly recommended.

The purchase of a Headstone, with all associated works.
The guidance given through the whole process was exceptional, friendly and efficient.
When the work had been completed by the stonemason, and the headstone in place, we were very happy with the finished product.

The staff, Ester in particular, we're very helpful and understanding of my needs.

After recommendation we bought a gravestone in memory of our parents. Excellent service, nothing was too much trouble, honest advice and everything was delt with as advised and we are very happy with the gravestone. Definitely recommend.

N&B Calder did a beautiful job of adding additional inscriptions to the stone on our family cremation lair at Hazelhead Cemetery. We were so impressed with their guidance when choosing the additional wording and also their timely completion of the work. I'd absolutely recommend them for any memorial masonry work.

Tilted gravestone repaired. Very pleased with help, work and friendly service completed by from N&B Calder. Thank you .

A headstone, overall excellent service.

Absolutely fabulous customer service, also delighted with workmanship.

Work completed to a high standard and in a timely fashion. Very happy with the lettering on the gravestone. Thankyou.

We have used N & B Calder Limited before and have been really pleased with their service and products. I would definitely recommend using them.

The burial process for my 99 year old mum was carried out with taste, delicateness, timeliness and efficiency. The Staff were kind, exceedingly helpful and mindful of our wishes. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

A new memorial stone was recently created and installed at a family grave and two existing memorial stones were cleaned and lettering regilded. Another family memorial had additional script added following a bereavement in 2023.

The team at N B Calder are professional, efficient, respectful and truly skilled in their craft. The team are extremely helpful and obliging and will go out of their way to meet expectations, often going beyond what is required.

My late father purchased a headstone from them in 1989 and I am pleased that all these years on, the same level of service, trust and care that comes from a traditional family owned business still exists today.

I am extremely pleased with the work done by N B Calder and would have no hesitation in recommending this business to others.

Refurbishment of gravestone was done very promptly and efficiently. Friendly staff.

From meeting the mason at the cemetary by chance to the final result they couldn't have been more helpful. They cleaned the existing headstones, advised on the wording and added my mothers details. The result was two headstones which look like new. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Resurfaced headstone and new wording in a different colour

Excellent work done in adding inscription to existing gravestone

A massive and heartfelt thank you to N&B Calder Ltd for providing us with the most perfect and stunningly beautiful headstone. First class service, truly exceptional craftsmanship and lovely people. Would highly recommend.

Supply and erection of headstone, staff very friendly and knowledgeable.

Needed to add a name to an existing gravestone, this company came highly recommended to me, they were very professional and the overall experience was perfect, will definitely recommend them.

Organised for gilt lettering to be renewed on my parents gravestone. This was carried out when the weather got better and I am extremely happy with the end result.

We initially went to get a new gravestone made and laid which should have been done almost 100 years ago. There was no rush obviously but from our first visit to discuss the details, it was handled very well by all we met. We then had the confidence to add a second job which entailed getting a family gravestone reguilded. Both items were done very well when we went to see them.
We would recommend N&B to anyone who have the same requirements that our family had

A very friendly, helpful team. Workmanship first class.

I had a memorial made for my wife, the staff were so helpful and the finished product is perfect.

Amazing service from start to finish in chosing the perfect memorial for my late wife
Very professional handling of our requests at such a difficult time for us as a family

A special mention to Esther who by using her experience guided us through the whole process and gave us the perfect memorial to our parents.

Inscription

At a very sad time, The Staff, Leo, was very helpful and understanding and the whole process went very smoothly.
they said it would take 6-8 weeks to do, which they did even with the terrible weather.
and the inscription was just as the family wanted.
Thank you.

We used N&B Calder to provide our late mum's gravestone. They were very helpful in ensuring we got the design mum would have wanted and the finished product was of the highest quality. It was also delivered in only a few weeks and at a very reasonable price.
We would be very happy to recommend them.

N&B Calder made a lovely job in refreshing and adding to the inscription on my parents headstone.
This was done in a professional manner.
There was a slight quality issue, but it was rectified and handled promptly to my full satisfaction. For me that is the mark of a good company.

from the moment, we attended the showroom, the staff were very helpful, friendly giving good practical advice at a very difficult time,
we can't thank them enough

All aspects of this difficult journey was carried out perfectly by the team at N&B Calder
Headstone turned out better than expected.

Headstone for my brother, was told it would be ready before Christmas and it was. Very good experience and would recommend to anyone.

Excellent service.

Wording added to an existing stone. Friendly staff and work well done. Reasonable costs.

N&B Calder were very professional and considerate throughout, providing constructive guidance and suggestions where required. Would highly recommend this small independent company for all headstone inscriptions.

We arranged for our village war memorial to be repainted. It was a couple of weeks before Remembrance Day that we contacted them and we thought it unlikely they would manage to do the work before the parade. However, there’s still a few days to go and the job is complete. Thanks.

We were looking for a memorial for my late brother in-law. I contacted them and asked if we could have the AFC logo engraved on it also a tractor mower. Within a few days they got back to us with a picture of what they designed. Within 6-8 weeks the Memorial was erected and is absolutely beautiful and is what we asked for. I would definitely recommend them in the future.

We requested an additional engraving to an existing gravestone after a sudden family bereavement. The work was carried out incredibly quickly, which was of huge comfort, and the service was discreet, sympathetic and professional. I would recommend Esther and the team wholeheartedly.

Great service as always

I had my grandmother and father's grave stone restored and the lettering renewed. On enquiring with N&B Calder Limited about this job I sent a photograph of the grave stone showing its deteriation over the years. It had been in the grave yard since 1934. When speaking to the staff they were very polite, attentive and positive about restoring the grave stone to a high standard. I was advised that the work would be carried out within 8 weeks and also advised of the cost at this time. As a result of all of the above positivity I was very impressed and had no hesitation in requesting their business. About a fortnight later I attended at the grave to lay a flower, for what would have been my grandmother's birthday, to find that the work had aready been carried out. I was so impressed with the restoration of the grave stone. Considering it had been there for nigh on 90 years, it looks like new. What a great job N&B Calder have done. At this time, my mobile telephone rang and, ironically, it was N&B Calder advising me that the work had been completed that day (my grandmother's birthday!!). I had no hesitation in telling them of my satisfaction and gratitude regarding the work they had carried out. GREAT JOB!! I'm so impressed that I advised them that if they wished they could use the before and after photographs for their website/catalogue to let others see what a transformation they have made of the grave stone. Overall the staff, cost and the work carried out were all great and I thank them very much for this and I will definitely use them again, if the need arises. I highly recommend N&B Calder to any who is looking to have similar work carried out on a grave stone, you won't be disappointed. I am one very satisfied customer.

Beautiful headstone installed on my wife’s grave very pleased would recommend this company

The team at N&B Calder were very helpful, friendly and professional and offered help and suggestions for the wording on my mum’s headstone. I would definitely recommend.

Thank you.

Great service from Elaine and the staff at N and B Calder Ltd. This family business has been incredible from start to finish. The additional script done to the family headstone along with the refurbishment of an aged script is a perfect match to the rest. The headstone looks stunningly beautiful now. All contact with Elaine was friendly and professional, and I would highly recommend this family business. Thanks to you all for the excellent work done.

We used N &B Calder to get an additional inscription added to an existing headstone. The price was very reasonable, craftsmanship was excellent and they did the work exactly when they said it would be done. We would definitely recommend

We used N & B Calder for my brother’s headstone 10 years ago because of a recommendation from a friend at the time and the fact we like to use local, lesser known service providers.
We had no doubt about getting in touch with them when my dad died.
The quality of the work is great and the service provided super.

Our family have used this firm many times to have inscriptions added to the family stone.
Elaine was very helpful as I tried to work out the choice of wording for my late husband, John.
I was contacted by phone when the work was completed and also received pictures through email. The finished headstone was exactly as I'd hoped and the quality of the work was excellent.
I wholeheartedly recommend this company for their care, support, professionalism and excellent standard of work.

A headstone was made for my Dad who died in 2019 and sited in Peterculter by N&B Calder in Inverurie.
The company were so very helpful every step of the way.
This year my Mum died, so once more we went to the same firm to have the added inscriptions put on the headstone, again the company were so supportive while we tried to work out the choice of extra wording.
Notification was sent once the job was completed. The finished headstone was exactly as we'd hoped and the quality of the work excellent.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone going through sad times for their care and support, lovely people.

Absolutely brilliant work and so helpful, couldn’t do enough for us. Would definitely recommend.

Memorial Headstone

On our arrival armed with a basic idea we were greeted by Esther and Leo who guided us through the various stages until we achieved a living memorial to my late wife that embedded the sentiment of the whole family and surpassed our greatest expectations.

The skill and attention to detail by the stonemasons transformed an open area into a place of peace and tranquillity with warmth in abundance.

Wonderful friendly helpful caring and professional

Esther, Leo and the stone masons at N&B Calder have done a very nice job making and erecting my fathers monument in the scheduled time frame they stated, they provided excellent customer service from start to finish and took the time to explain everything in detail and made everything easy. I would highly recommend N&B Calder to anyone.

Professional service form Esther and her team from start to finish.

Well satisfied with this company. Can't sing their praises enough, under such difficult circumstances.

Bespoke Grave stone
Work scope was conducted and carried out in a very efficient professional manner, the stone was erected on time and is beautiful

I ordered my late husband’s headstone from N & B Calder. I am absolutely delighted with it. It wasn’t a straightforward choice out of the catalogue but between John and Esther’s efforts I got exactly what I wanted. They really did go the extra mile for me which I appreciated very much.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and family.
