The Lupton family recently added enscriptions to an existing headstone they had previously installed. The work was carried out sensitively and exactly as requested with guidance and advice along the way. We were very happy with the efficient service received. Many thanks to the whole team.

Cannot thank father and son enough for the time they spent on my aunties headstone. We wanted something unique and special. They helped us to bring the idea to life. We were very particular in what we wanted and so they showed real patience all the way through. The end result really was lovely. Thank you

My family and I had the best care possible at Alberti Lupton & Co, at what was a very emotional and stressful time. Gerard was so kind and understanding and carried out our wishes better than we could ever have expected. The workmanship was first class. Being a caring family run business meant a lot to us., so much nicer than bigger companies who just pushed for business. We were treated with friendliness and the utmost respect at all times, both by Gerard and his wife, Deborah. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

The passing of someone that You have to sort the memorial headstone for, is a sad time. The passing of my father meant that Alberti Lupton were needed again as we laid him to rest with his parents. From the first contact with them Gerard and Deborah were amazing. Without any prompting Gerard was able to recall that he had done the previous inscription himself on the headstone. It is a lengthy process but they were able to offer guidance right through the process. The stone was erected on a concrete plinth as the land had previously slipped. Again they liaised with the cemetery and arrange this all. They touched up the existing inscriptions and the Crucifix . The quality and service turned a sad memorial into a thing of beauty. It truly is stunning. The price was extremely pleasing too. Thankyou so much

Over 20 years ago Lupton's created a grave desk/pot for our mother. When our das died a few months ago we asked them to create a matching one, which they did with fantastic lettering and a musical instrument/notes as our Dad was a musician and re painted the lettering on the original grave stone. The whole family was really impressed and would highly recommend this company.

Deborah and Gerard of Alberti Lupton, have helped my family through a difficult time. The loss of our mother, identifying a family grave, helping to design a detailed Headstone, and the nuances of family history. This was handled professionally, compassionately and with patience and sensitivity . The headstone is exactly what we asked for . The cost was reasonable and what we expected . We would highly recommend Alberti Lupton in Moston for a high quality memorial and kind and compassionate service. Dr B.J.Murray and Mrs J. Wilson

I contacted Gerard at Luptons memorial service due to the fact I needed an experienced stonemason .One of our family members gravestone was in very poor condition,it was made of white marble but because of nearly fifty years of being in the elements had turned black and some of the lead letters were now missing .Gerard and his experienced team renovated the headstone to a very high standard .The headstone now almost looks like new ! I would not hesitate in strongly recommending the high quality work at Luptons .Their service from start to finish was faultless and to a very high standard .

Gerard and Deborah provided us with the personal warm caring and professional support we needed at a time of great sorrow, when our son went to sit with the angels . From the very first visit and discussion with Gerard we warmly felt the knowledge, experience, guidance and personal care we were looking for. Along with Deborah and their team they looked after us throughout the difficult process and the installation work and final finished monument was actually better than we originally imagined and anticipated. A very grateful thank you from us and we cannot recommend Alberti Lupton highly enough. Love and best wishes Phil and Karen Lawson

When choosing a monument for a loved one it is very emotional, however James at Alberti Lupton was so kind and caring and was an absolute pleasure to deal with it made it easier for us. From the moment we entered the premises to our headstone being fitted the communication and professionalism was fist class. I would definitely recommend you give this company a call should you need a monument for your loved one.

Wonderful and attentive service from both Gerard and Deborah Lupton. The workmanship and craftsmanship of our memorial was stunning. It took the family a long time to arrange our memorial. I was moved to tears when I saw it we couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you for a caring professional and holistic service throughout.

This afternoon I have had the most amazing service from this company far beyond what I could have expected. I don't live in the UK but a relative's grave was in a |Manchester Cemetery and the headstone I knew was by this company. I wanted to establish the cemetary. I had an immediate reply and a current photo of the grave within half an hour and all done in such a helpful manner. Thank you so much for your help, as I have already told, you have made my day.

The quality, cost and service of my family's memorial headstone was exceptional. The company are extremely professional, knowledgeable and empathetic in everything they do. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I would have no hesitation in recommending this family business.

Highly recommended. These people could not have been more understanding and helpful. Their services provided two much loved people with a long awaited beautiful memorial stone. Having no-one still living in the area to arrange the details, Gerard and Deborah made all the arrangement for us and laid the stone for us at the cemetery. The relief for the family was enormous as was our appreciation of all the background details that were taken care of as well as the beautiful memorial stone produced. They treat you like you are one of their own yet remain highly professional.

We placed an order for a headstone several weeks ago with Alberti Lupton, and Gerard's help and advise was excellent, he and the rest of the staff organized everything which took a lot of the stress out of what can be an upsetting time for any bereaved family, as we live in Coventry and our family member was buried at Agecroft cemetery Salford they made sure we had all the information regards choice of lettering, colours and motifs by phone and email and only went ahead once we were fully satisfied and confirmed the final design and layout. The headstone was layed last week and we travelled up to see it in place yesterday, although an emotional moment for us, we were delighted with the finished result and couldn't have wished for more for our loved ones resting place. Once again our thanks to Gerard and all the staff at Alberti Lupton.

I can’t thank Deborah, Gerard and the team enough for all their help, care and kindness throughout the most heartbreaking time for us after we lost our baby grandson. This is a family run business and is the best. When you can’t think straight, they think for you. Every thought and effort goes into making sure you achieve exactly what you are looking for when designing the memorial stone that is right for you. They have now designed and made two very different ones for us which were absolutely perfect. If you don’t want to be disappointed then I would highly recommend Alberti Lupton every time. Thank you once again to you all.

Gerard & Deborah were very helpful, professional and friendly. They offer a good service and the addition on the Headstone was exactly what we wanted. The base was also cleaned when it was put back into place in the Cemetery and the grave potts were replaced. This added a nice touch which we were not expecting. Thank you. We would definitely recommend this firm.
