About Materials

Frank England & Co is a family-run memorial masonry wholesaler based in Retford, Nottinghamshire, proudly serving the memorial trade across the UK. With decades of experience, we have built a reputation for quality craftsmanship, reliable supply, and compassionate service, supporting our trade partners in creating lasting tributes for families during difficult times.
  • Tradition & Family Values :
    Founded as a family business, we continue to uphold the same values of integrity, trust, and care that have guided us from the beginning. Every memorial we produce reflects not just skilled workmanship but also the respect and dignity every family deserves.
  • Wholesale Granite Memorials :
    We supply a wide range of granite headstones, kerb sets, cremation memorials, children’s memorials, and bespoke designs. By holding an extensive stock of granite in the UK and operating onsite cutting, polishing, engraving, and finishing facilities, we are able to reduce lead times and respond quickly to customer needs — even in urgent or time-sensitive situations.
