Not All Black Granite is Natural – Watch What Sets us Apart

El Dorado Black vs Other Black

No doping. No additives. Just pure, naturally deep black granite with a lifetime finish.

We are the sole authorised supplier of El dorado Black Granite in the UK — direct from source to retailer.

⛏ Sourced from Our Own Quarry

Full control from extraction to finishing — guaranteeing consistency, ethical sourcing, and unmatched quality.

🪵 Maintains True Colour & Gloss

No fading, no greying — ideal for memorials that are meant to endure for generations.

📦 UK Stock Ready for Dispatch

Endless customisation opportunity

MARP UK offers complete flexibility for headstones, bases, and special designs. Whatever your client needs — we can make it.

Our in-house team creates 2D and 3D drawings to help you visualise and approve custom designs quickly and accurately.

From shape to size to detail — if you can imagine it, we can make it.

Artist Collaborations & Design Innovation

MARP UK partners with select artists from around the world — including gallery-represented talent — to create truly bespoke memorials.

With an architect on our core team, we focus on developing unique forms and design styles that are new to the memorial market.These collaborations allow us to push creative boundaries and offer clients something deeply personal and visually distinctive.

Ethical Sourcing & Certified Standards

All MARP UK memorials are imported through our certified Indian counterpart, ensuring full compliance with international standards.
Our production facilities are audited by organisations such as IGEP (Germany), covering critical aspects like water recycling, waste management, ethical labour practices, and responsible quarry sourcing.
Unlike many UK suppliers, we offer a transparent and ethically compliant supply chain — from quarry to finished product.

Responding to a Changing Memorial Landscape

Cremation rates in the UK have risen by 8% over the past decade — nearly 8 in 10 funerals now choose cremation. As the market shifts, MARP UK continues to evolve with it.
Our design-led team has developed a growing range of memorial solutions tailored for cremation, including:

  • Custom-designed urns
  • Elegant mausoleums
  • In-house engineered columbariums

Attention to Detail — From Drawing to Stone

At MARP UK, every detail matters — from the first sketch to the final carving.
As seen in the Last Supper video below, our team completed a stunning bas-relief on a 3″ Paradiso granite plaque — a testament to our craftsmanship and precision.
