115 YEARS OF ALBERTI, LUPTON & CO. From a Small Hut to a Lasting Legacy. This month marks a very special milestone for one of Moston’s longest-established businesses, as Alberti, Lupton & Co., Ltd. celebrates 115 years since its founding in 1911. The story began on 18th November 1911, when William Lupton, together with Philip and John Alberti, established the firm from a small workshop beside Moston Cemetery. Over the past 115 years, the business has remained closely connected to Moston and its cemeteries, with five generations of the Lupton family continuing the tradition of designing, engraving, restoring and fixing memorials for local families. From those early beginnings in a small hut to the family’s present-day workshop and showroom opposite St Joseph’s Cemetery on Moston Lane, the business has witnessed an extraordinary amount of change in Moston and the surrounding area. Yet one thing has remained unchanged: a family-run business, working with stone and lettering to create lasting memorials for generations of local families. To have remained an independent, family-run business for 115 years is a remarkable achievement, and an important part of Moston’s history. Founded in Moston. Still here in Moston. 115 years and five generations later. Congratulations to everyone at Alberti, Lupton & Co., Ltd. on this incredible milestone. 🕊️ Finest Quality and Craftsmanship for 115 Years – Since 1911.

Making the most of the sunshine over at Dunham Lawn Cemetery, Cheshire today ☀️ Spent part of the afternoon carefully restoring the black painted lettering on a grey granite memorial, bringing the inscription back to life and making it stand out clearly once again ✍️🪦⚒️ Over time, painted letters can naturally begin to fade through weathering and exposure to the elements. Careful restoration work like this helps preserve the memorial’s appearance while ensuring the inscription remains clear and lasting for families visiting their loved ones 🌿 For a personalised estimate, please email us at: info@albertilupton.co.uk Alternatively, you can call or WhatsApp us on: 0161 681 1272 Please ensure you include a photo of your memorial, the cemetery, and the grave number.

A special restoration currently taking place in our workshop ⚒️🪦 This memorial, originally supplied by us in the early 1960s, is now being given a new lease of life ✨ The stone has been fully refaced and professionally cleaned. The bottom of the headpiece has been carefully cut to restore a clean, level finish and re-drilled to meet current NAMM fixing standards. The family recently purchased a new memorial to replace this stone but understandably didn’t want to part with something that holds so much sentimental value 🤍 Rather than seeing it discarded, they chose for it to be carefully restored and prepared for use on another family grave. The next stage will see the memorial engraved using our high-tech Goldmann Futura Automatic Sandblaster before being traditionally finished with black painted lettering ✍️ and carefully installed in its new resting place. There’s something especially meaningful about preserving a memorial we originally crafted over 60 years ago. It’s a privilege to help carry that history forward, ensuring it remains safe, secure, and ready to honour another loved one for many years to come 🪦

🤍 We recently collected this memorial from St Joseph’s Cemetery, Moston, which we originally supplied in early 2024 for Mark & Ellen’s beloved son, Scott. A few weeks ago, Mark contacted us following the very sad passing of his wife Ellen, requesting her inscription to be added to the memorial. The memorial was carefully transported back to our workshop opposite St Joseph’s Cemetery, where Ellen’s inscription was engraved to perfectly match the original inscription ✨ Whilst the memorial was with us, we also refreshed the gold lettering on Scott’s inscription to ensure both inscriptions matched beautifully. We also fitted a photo-ceramic portrait of Ellen, specially crafted in Venice, Italy 🇮🇹 Ellen’s husband Mark briefly worked for Alberti Lupton many years ago when Michael Lupton was Managing Director, and Mark’s brother, Pat, was a long-standing and valued member of our team for many years. It was a true honour not only to have originally supplied this memorial for Mark & Ellen’s son, but also to have been entrusted with engraving Ellen’s inscription. 🕊️ Our thoughts remain with Mark and the family
