Celtic Kilkenny Limestone

Timeless and Durable

Celtic Kilkenny Limestone, also known as Irish Blue Limestone, is a popular choice for memorials thanks to its timeless appearance and exceptional durability. Its dense structure and elegant blue-grey tones ensure it will stand the test of time, both structurally and aesthetically.

Why Choose Kilkenny Limestone?

This stunning blue-grey limestone is sourced from the renowned Kilkenny Quarry in Ireland and is highly regarded for its fine texture and elegant finish, making it ideal for intricate carving and detailed inscriptions.

Celtic Limestone is celebrated not only for its timeless natural beauty but also for its exceptional strength and resilience. Its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, including frost and heavy rain, makes it a highly desirable material for long-lasting headstones and memorials.

In addition to its durability, Celtic Limestone is also low maintenance requiring only occasional cleaning with mild soapy water to preserve its appearance for years to come.
