Our History
Alan Ash started his working career as a letter carver's apprentice in 1949 and progressed over the years to become a master of his trade and very highly respected letter carver. He also managed a large monumental company during which time he gained vast experience and knowledge of the business.
In 1982 Alan and his wife Maureen decided to go into business for themselves and started their company 'A.M.Ash Monumental Sculptor', in Lansdowne Road, Canton, Cardiff. Their thought was that they could offer families a considerably better and more personal service than was available anywhere else in Cardiff.
Alan and Maureen made 'A.M.Ash Monumental Sculptor' an established, highly regarded and very successful business over the years. Their knowledge, skill and business ethics were all passed on to the next generation when their son Neil joined the business in 1984. Neil has been running the business along with his Wife Maria for over 30 years.
Neil and Maria's son Daniel has become the third generation to work at Ash Memorials, joining in 2016 he has learnt how to manage the business and is now a Director. He has always shown an active interest in the business and has spent a lot of time in and around it as he grew up.
More recently Daniel's Wife Tessa has also joined the business bringing in her valuable experience and personality.
