James McKeon – Expertise and Empathy the Cornerstone of Caring Craftsmanship
“What has given me the most personal fulfilment is helping people in this journey of commemorating their loved ones”.
James McKeon carved out a career in stone, honed by a lifetime of dedication, honouring a family tradition handed on by his father, and his father before him.
It is this legacy, knowledge, tradition, and respect etched and engraved from the time he was a boy that is at the core of the service and satisfaction provided to each and every family that is at the reassuring heart of McKeon Memorials. It is the foundation on which their trust and reputation is built.
James has devoted himself to working with natural stone, to those traditions and high standards his entire life. Today, that knowledge, craft and care is at your disposal so that you can have absolute confidence and trust in the personal service he provides. Every detail, every aspect and enduring quality are the hallmarks of skill and craft garnered over forty years. His speciality is the personal attention afforded to memorials and headstones for bereaved individuals and families.
“What has given me the most personal fulfilment is helping people in this journey of commemorating their loved ones. It is a difficult time for grieving families and by its nature it is something that most people are only involved in once or twice throughout their lives. They may be vulnerable and therefore moreso than ever they depend on the knowledge, support, expertise, and empathy that we provide. Although grieving they turn to us to help provide what is in effect one of the last physically tangible things that they will do for their loved ones who have passed. It is a very important time and the outcome when achieved to their hopes and satisfaction can be hugely cathartic and rewarding.
“If I can consider a legacy in my working life it would involve to a great extent that I have tried to carry this ethos of support and empathy to as many people as possible during this time as they mourn and cope with their great loss.”
