Advice and action on installing a new Grave Stone. Excellent Service
Sadly, my maiden aunt passed away and her wish was that her ashes be buried in the family plot at Surbiton Cemetery. Throughout this emotional time the team at Lodge Bros. have been exceptional. From advising on a new stone and inscription to the point of delivery and installment. No surprises re costs or delivery (except the delivery and installing was sooner than expected). I would 100% recommend Lodge Bros.

Lodge brothers were wonderful, everyone that I dealt with was friendly, efficient and extremely helpful. From the initial inquiry, dealing with the Council, selection and wording of headstone, all perfect.

Thank you Lodge Brothers
I would like to thank Lodge Brothers for their expertise and quick response to our request to update my Mothers headstone in time for Christmas. The headstone was cleaned and updated to match the existing font and lettering so that it matched perfectly.

Wonderful service
We've used the services of Lodge Brothers before, so we're familiar with the professionalism shown by the company. They were a godsend after we had endless trouble with another masonry (which is another story). Not only were Lodge Brothers extremely quick to respond to all enquiries and to get the job done, but their prices were also fair. Everything was mostly done by email. Very happy with the headstone and so glad they managed to get everything done just in time for Christmas even though it wasn't guaranteed. A big thank you to the whole team.

Thank you to Lodge Brothers. A very professional experience
We used Lodge Brothers in East Molesey to arrange and execute the funeral for my late brother at Randall’s Park. More recently we have used them for the erection of the headstone and inscription. They have been a delight to deal with. They are helpful,professional efficient and made everything run smoothly. They are exactly what a family run business with many years of experience should be. Thank you

MY MOTHER, TONI'S, TRUTH DENIED - TONI'S MEMORIAL
🔥 Public Review — Lodge Brothers Ltd
Refusal of Authored Truth — Fearful of Feeling, Not Technicality
Despite receiving supplier-proof CAD drawings for the memorial of my mother, Toni — a fully choreographed, executable transmission — Lodge Brothers Ltd, under the authority of General Manager David Smithson, refused the commission.
In his own words:
“We do not believe we can meet your expectations or fulfil your technical requirements.”
This refusal is not about expectation or technicality per se. It is about fear — fear of authored truth, fear of emotional consequence, fear of faithful execution. It is not my expectations they could not meet. It is their own expectations they could not face. It is their own technical abilities they did not trust.
They did not reject a design. They rejected authorship. They rejected feeling. They rejected God’s choreography.
But God answers our prayers. And my mother’s song — our song — shall be published, witnessed, and heard. This review is placed in recognition of all those afraid to speak. I speak for you all. There is no fear where God lives. And God lives in my mother, Toni — always. And in those who believe. Me.

Dear Mrs Watson,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that our decision has caused disappointment.
After careful consideration of the design, technical specifications, and the requirements discussed, we concluded that we were not the right mason to meet your needs. We believe it is always better to be honest at the outset rather than risk failing to deliver the standard you expect and deserve.
We wish you every success in completing your memorial.
Kind regards,
Chris Lodge
Replacement Memorial
The Lodge Brothers team provided an excellent service in the replacement of the old memorial, which, after over fifty years was looking shabby despite our best efforts. From the local representative through to the team at Ashford, and the stonemasons, their customer service was at all times professional, courteous and helpful.
