Gravestone Restoration

Our business started by us repainting my grandads grave, Keith Graham Sewell. He passed away on the 18.10.2002. Keith was the most kind, caring and selfless person who loved his family to the fullest capacity.

I wanted to make his gravestone appear how it did when he was first buried. When I removed the current paint and repainted his engraving, also observing the gravestones surrounding his, it made me realise how special and precious life is. Some of those graves were of children as young as 8 years old and it showed me that grief is universal and comes in different forms.  Although death is inevitable, it's a deep pain we will all suffer from when we lose our loved ones. That's why we should always show them how we feel everyday, because each day is a gift if we are able to be present with them.
People think graveyards are eery or uncomfortable because they portray death and it's where loved ones lie, but it's the complete opposite. They bring peace, a place to grieve, mourn and release your emotions that are tied towards them. To be able to deeply experience the pain of loss, is an experience that is rare and profound and it's proof that love and having a connection with someone is the most powerful of all experiences that we can endure.
Even though their physical being is gone, they will always remain and be alive in our hearts and their presence will live on as long as we do.
