Derelict Knights Dairy & General Stores on Heavitree Road, Exeter around 1990 – before Fine Memorials renovation in 1996

The Fine Memorials Exeter Story – From Renovation to Legacy

Acquired around 1996, our Exeter branch on Heavitree Road transformed a pair of derelict buildings – the front Knights Dairy & General Stores and the rear Exeter Sewing Machine Company workshop – into a welcoming showroom and workspace. The extensive renovations, captured in these photos of founder Ian Hale getting stuck in with the tools, showed our hands-on commitment from day one. Leading from the front, Ian rolled up his sleeves to build a space that blends tradition with modern precision, ensuring every memorial and headstone in Exeter reflects the care Somerset families deserve.

For nearly 30 years, we’ve been a trusted part of the Devon community, with long-serving team members bringing decades of experience to every tribute. Ian Hale’s vision, rooted in Bridgwater since 1982, upholds BRAMM standards here, offering bespoke gravestones, cremation memorials, and restoration tailored to Exeter’s historic sites. From Higher Cemetery to Topsham, we provide compassionate craftsmanship that honours legacies across Devon.
