    Can anyone recommend a business in Sligo that does Gravestones please?
    I drove halfway around the countryside looking for a guy from Bunnanaden, never found him though.

    You could try Martin Cadden, Ballydoogan, Sligo.

    Might seem a bit odd ML, but a lot of the newer headstones have the name of the stonemason on them now. You could have a look round and see if there is some you like?

    My Father died a couple of weeks ago and whenever I drop into the cemetery in Sligo, there's always a work van or two parked in there. These are lads working on headstones. I live about 2 miles from Bunninadden and I'm not aware of a headstone business in the area, but I could be wrong.

    I'll find out the name of the person that did my brother's gravestone. He did a great job, llistened to what my parents wanted, and facilitated them when they changed their minds on things.

    Theres also Ronnie O Hara just before Flannery car sales in Rathcormack. The guys in Buninadden used to be Doddy memorials but I think someone else took over the business after him, also theres Diamonds out in Skreen, out the Ballina road turn right at Burkes stairs factory heading to Dunmoran strand but keep to the left instead of crossing the little bridge and head for the beach bar and they are 50m on the left hand side. No connection to any of them.
