Get in touchThank you for your email. I have been down to the Cemetery this afternoon to see the Memorial. It is always difficult to imagine what something will look like from a picture, but I have to say it looks beautiful and I know my Mum and Dad would have approved of my choice.
Once again I wish to thank you and all your staff for your help, assistance and advice.

Highly recommend Memorials Of Distinction I lost my husband 8 months ago and enquired about a stone and vase for him and all the staff showed compassion, understanding my requirements and also answered any questions and queries that I asked. Very professional and excellent service from my enquiry even to now with my husbands stone being laid. Very reasonable priced and always kept in touch with me with an update on the progress of the order! Fantastic company and would always recommend to family and friends, and I would like to say thank you for completing the stone and I’m so happy with the final product and looks high quality finish and wording! Thank you to each and everyone who has helped me and knowing that any questions you’re there to help!
