Kerbed Memorial Cover Slabs
Cover slabs are solid slabs of matching or contrasting stone which fit inside the space created by kerbs and are an alternative to soil or chippings.
Kerbed memorials include a line of stone which forms a rectangular edge covering the whole grave. This space this creates can be topped with a solid slab of matching or contrasting stone. You can also use cover slabs on smaller Garden Kerbs, these are small kerbs which can be added to most of our headstones and can often be installed in locations where full kerb memorials are not permitted. Call us with details of your grave site and we will be able to check whether they are allowed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kerb set?
Kerbs are a line of stone which forms a rectangular edge covering the whole grave. This is usually made from the same stone as the headstone but can be changed for a contrasting material if preferred. The centre area can be filled with coloured glass chippings, soil or a cover slab according to your taste.
Can I add kerbs in front of a small/children's memorial?
Yes, we can put a small graveside surround called ‘Garden Kerbs’ around any headstone, providing the cemetery gives permission. We will be able to advise you on this and apply for a permit on your behalf.
Can you leave the centre of kerbing empty for us to fill it?
Yes, if you wanted to fill the kerbs with soil and plants or buy your own chippings, we can leave this area empty.
TESTIMONIALS
I just want to say a huge thankyou for the amazing job you’ve all done on Dad’s headstone. It truly looks beautiful. The respect shown to the grave was perfect, everything was left tidy and it’s really made the whole family very happy.
It’s been a pleasure using Memorials of Distinction from start to finish. I can’t thank you all enough. Pass on my thanks to the guys that installed the stone please as well.

A very big thank you to everybody involved in getting my sister’s plaque in place before the first anniversary of her burial, it will mean so much to her children.
Your help throughout has been wonderful especially with problems encountered with the local council with delay after delay – every time I called you were very helpful.
