A long standing family firm offering a professional and skilled service 

J W Myers Monumental Masons are a family business covering North Yorkshire and the East Riding.  The name Myers has been known in the funeral profession since 1701 with Mark Myers, a local carpenter and wheelwright using his carpentry skills to make coffins amongst other things.  Mark Myers went on to become the first Myers Funeral Director and could never of known his career choice would set a tradition that would carry on for over three centuries. 

In May 1999 James Myers joined the family business as a coffin maker and grave digger.  James eventually became a funeral director after six years of training but all the time his attention was captivated by the memorial stones and the skill that went into creating them.  The thought of creating memorials that would last throughout the ages really appealed to James so he started to train under Joe Smith of J W Smith Memorials, also a local family business which worked closely with the Myers family.

In 2010 Joe Smith of J W Smith Memorials decided it was time for his well earned retirement, Joe asked James if he would be interested in purchasing the equipment and stock so he could carry on the business under his name.  James decided it was something which would complement the funeral directors very well and something he was very excited to do, later that year J W Myers Monumental Masons opened its door. 

Today J W Myers Monumental Masons are one of the UK's leading family owned and run Monumental Masons offering one of the largest range of memorials and products in the area.  Nicola Myers, James's wife is the memorial designer and office manager whilst James oversees the workshop and fitting of all memorials.  Sadly Mr Joe Smith passed away in February 2011 and never got the opportunity to see the firms success under the Myers name.
