Stone number plate on my house - need help

Hello, I am looking to have a stone mason carve my house number into a piece of Liscannor stone as I want to fill it with lead ( or some metal ) to let the numbers stand out from the stone. I am based in Dublin and I am wondering if anyone knows someone who can do this? thanks

Any of the monument works that do gravestones should be able to do it?

A few coats of old paint would work fine:D

Using metal like that is not going to work, it will just fall out. For the carving though, a stone mason (aka gravestone /monument works) would do the job.
