We have a wide range of high-quality products available.
A final resting place in Surrey
You or your loved one has chosen Surrey for their final resting place, but every cemetery is different and each has its own atmosphere, requirements and prices. When choosing a cemetery, you’ll have to visit and ask them directly about any specific rules before you choose a custom gravestone, traditional headstones or perhaps a memorial photoplaque.
Surrey is very close to London, making transport links easy for visiting friends and family, but it also has a country feel, with lots of green spaces and ancient woodland. In fact, Surrey is the most wooded county in England, so there are lots of tranquil places to go walking after visiting the cemetery or crematorium.
Cemeteries and crematoriums in Surrey
When you have lost a loved one, contacting crematoriums and cemeteries can feel overwhelming. To help you, we have put together an interactive map. All you have to do is hover over a pin to see the contact details — this saves you trawling the internet in search of a telephone number.
There are a number of things you may want to ask the crematorium or cemetery about, so write them down and have these to hand before you call. For example, whether you can purchase a family plot, what headstone styles are allowed and what size headstones are permitted.
There are so many special locations in Surrey — Woking Crematorium has a peaceful lake, Burvale Cemetery offers a traditional lawn and Randalls Park Crematorium has a multi-faith chapel. Take a look below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cheaper alternative to a headstone?
There are several more affordable alternatives to a traditional headstone. Memorial plaques, for example, are small engraved markers that can be placed on a grave or at a memorial site. These are typically less expensive than full headstones. A tree or plant memorial can also be a meaningful and cost-effective choice, with a living tribute that grows over time.
How much is a headstone?
This very much depends on the size and material of your chosen headstone. We have memorial stones to suit every budget. If you take a look at our Value Memorials range you will see that they start as low as £865 and go up to many thousands for large custom memorials with lots of extras. If you are keen to keep costs low, it is best to choose a simplistic memorial design, such as the VR1 and base the length of your inscription on the free letter allowance offered with the specific memorial design chosen. For a more personalised memorial there are optional extras like photo plaques, statues and other decorative items.
When can a memorial be erected on a grave?
The ground requires time to settle after a burial so it is important to wait before installing your memorial. A headstone can usually be erected on a grave six months after the last burial has taken place but a period of 1 year is most common. If cremated remains are interred in a grave, a headstone may be fixed after 3-6 months, as the ground requires less settling time but this can vary. If you tell us which cemetery/crematorium your memorial will be installed in, we can find out the specific rules for you and advise accordingly.
