C.P. Holland & Sons is a family-run memorial masonry business based in the heart of West Yorkshire, with generations of experience in creating beautifully crafted headstones, gravestones and memorials for families across the region. The business, which incorporates Headstones Yorkshire, is driven by a genuine commitment to quality, compassion and attention to detail, ensuring that every memorial created is a fitting and lasting tribute to a loved one. All headstones and memorials are made in-house by highly skilled stonemasons, and all fittings and installations are carried out by BRAMM-accredited fitters, giving families complete confidence in both the quality of the work and the safety of the installation. From the first conversation through to the final fitting, C.P. Holland & Sons handles every step with care, patience and the kind of personal service that only a family business with deep roots in its craft can offer.
Headstones
Choosing a headstone is one of the most meaningful decisions a family will make, and C.P. Holland & Sons approaches every enquiry with the sensitivity and respect it deserves. The range covers everything from traditional upright designs to contemporary lawn memorials, all crafted in-house to a high standard and available in a variety of natural materials including granite, marble, slate and Yorkshire stone. Every headstone is made to order, meaning families can be confident that what they receive is individual to their loved one rather than a generic, off-the-shelf product. The team is happy to work from a photograph or drawing if you have seen something you like elsewhere, and will guide you through every option at a pace that suits you.
Memorials
A memorial should reflect the life and character of the person it honours, and C.P. Holland & Sons has the skill and experience to bring even the most personal of visions to life. Whether you are looking for a simple and understated tribute or something more elaborate and bespoke, the team works closely with families to understand exactly what they want and to deliver it with precision and care. Desk and plaque memorials, cremation memorials and vases are all available alongside the full range of stone memorials, giving families a wide set of options regardless of the type of burial or the requirements of the burial ground. The business also has a partnership with the National Trust, planting a tree in Memorials memory of each loved one honoured with a new memorial, with a certificate provided in their name.
Gravestones
Every gravestone produced by C.P. Holland & Sons is crafted with the same level of pride and skill that the family has brought to this work across generations. The team understands that a gravestone is not simply a marker but a permanent and public expression of love and remembrance, which is why no detail is considered too small. Material choices, size, shape, finish and lettering are all discussed carefully with each family, and the resulting gravestone is one that is built to endure. Where an existing gravestone needs repair, restoration or additional inscription work, the team can also help with that, matching original styles and finishes as closely as possible.
Calderdale
C.P. Holland & Sons has been proudly serving families across Calderdale for many years, building a trusted reputation as the area's go-to memorial masons. The team has a thorough understanding of the rules and regulations that apply across the various churchyards, cemeteries and burial grounds throughout Calderdale and the surrounding region, and can advise families on what is permitted at any specific site. From initial enquiry through to installation, everything is handled locally and personally, giving families a reassuring point of contact they can rely on throughout what is often a difficult and emotional time.
Churchyard Headstones
Churchyards often have specific requirements regarding the style, size and material of headstones, and navigating those rules whilst still creating something meaningful can feel daunting. C.P. Holland & Sons has extensive experience working within churchyard regulations and can advise families from the outset on what will be permitted at their chosen site. The team liaises directly with burial grounds on behalf of families where needed, taking the administrative burden off their shoulders entirely. Every churchyard headstone produced is crafted to meet the relevant standards whilst still being a genuinely personal and beautiful tribute.
Engraved Headstones
The engraving on a headstone carries more meaning than almost any other element of the memorial, and C.P. Holland & Sons brings exceptional skill and care to every inscription they produce. From names, dates and epitaphs to religious symbols, poems, personal verses and decorative motifs, the team can accommodate a wide variety of requests and will work with families to get the wording and design exactly right before any cutting begins. Where additional engraving is needed on an existing memorial, whether to add a name or update an inscription, the team aims to match the original lettering style and finish as closely as possible, ensuring the finished result looks cohesive and considered.
