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!

We are very pleased with the service that Memorials of Distinction provided, especially at a difficult time when it was not always easy to think clearly. We appreciate your patience and help throughout. The memorial looks even better than I imagined, especially the etching. Thank you for all your help.
