Customer Testimonials

I would just to pass on my thanks and those of my sister to all the staff involved in the process of sorting out the headstone for our mother Eunice Ceato. I drove up to Corsham yesterday to place some flowers on it and to take my first look, I was very impressed, thank you so much.

We found working with you very easy and understanding, which compared to some companies we have dealt with recently was a refreshing bonus. Also managing to arrange placement of the headstone before Christmas we both really appreciate.

Jason and Jackie, we held our rededication service in the memorial Garden at 29 Regiment RLC, on Saturday 11th March 2023. Air Vice Marshall Richard Hill CBE RAF laid a wreath at the memorial Plaque. Without exception everyone present commented on the most magnificent work you had completed on the plaque. It was truly magnificent. On behalf of The President Air Vice Marshal Richard Hill, The Chairman Brigadier Jo Chestnutt, and all members of the MCA and personally from me, we wish to express our sincere thanks for your craftmanship in delivery of such a high standard of stone masonry on our memorial plaque. Very much appreciated.

This morning I visited Curzon Street Cemetery in Calne and viewed the recently updated Taylor Family memorial. I am really pleased with the finished result and applaud the craftsmanship of every person involved in adding the wording I requested in memory of my darling wife Marjorie.
From the days of being a baby in 1946 and being taken by my Nan every week, I have visited the grave/memorial (initially commissioned for my Mum Dorothy) on hundreds of occasions. However, my visit today was totally different to any other in the past 75 years because, never before, have I experienced emotion like I felt today nor have tears flowed so freely because I was so pleased when I saw the engraving you have done for Marjorie. There are tears in my eyes as I type this email to you now.
I will contact you by telephone and provide payment details but this note is simply to express my thanks and gratitude to everyone involved in completing the work I requested to a level that can best be classed as "Excellent". Payment will be made with joy in my heart. David

Dear Sir/madam and everyone at James Long Masons, I would like to thank you all for the wonderful and first class service that you all provide. The care and compassion shown to me when I came to your premises to enquire about a headstone for my parents grave was very, very much appreciated, thank you. The quality and standard of the craftsmanship of the headstone is absolutely superb, I’m very, very pleased with it and I know my parents would be too. Once again, very many thanks for the wonderful service that you provide and very kindest regards. Michael March

I am writing to thank you all SO SO much for all your wonderful help and support. I cannot thank you all enough for all that you have done for us - and especially for the tribute that you have made for my dear dear John. You said that you would do your best to get it done in time for his birthday, and you did - bless you all. You don't know just HOW much that has helped us as a family (especially me), to honour John.

On behalf of my brother and myself, I am writing to thank you for the lovely memorial headstone which James Long (Masons) Ltd completed for our mother. It was exactly what we knew our mother would want and coming from a family of monumental sculpture we know that she would have appreciated the craftsmanship which went into its preparation. It was good for you to complete the work and place it in position in Melksham Cemetery before Mothers Day. Thanks also to you and the staff of James Long (Masons) Ltd for all your help and courtesy. Mrs Tamara Cook, Melksham

I would like to say that I am extremely pleased with the memorial which looks much better than I could have imagined. I have already had comments from friends who have commented on its workmanship and beauty. D Trudgett, Sutton Veny

My late father was buried out of your area, none the less the gentleman who we spoke to in the Trowbridge branch was so kind and considerate. He explained everything we asked but advised we use a more local stonemason. However he still offered to answer any queries or if we needed to check out information we were given. In a time of grief I cannot thank you enough for your care and consideration. I would have no hesitation in recommending James Long of Trowbridge and be confident that they got a gold star service. A Benson, via Email
