A final resting place in Bedfordshire

There’s a lot to think about when planning a burial or cremation, but a good first step forward is choosing the location, then everything else can stem from that. This is because many cemeteries and crematoriums have rules about which bespoke gravestones, traditional headstones or memorial statues are permitted. Once you’ve found the special location for a final resting place, then we can support you as you choose a fitting tribute.

The historic county of Bedfordshire is easily accessible for friends and family to visit and offers so much, from pretty riverside villages to beautiful countryside, and all just a short journey away from London.

Cemeteries and crematoriums in Bedfordshire

You’d be forgiven for thinking all cemeteries are the same until you get researching. The location you choose within Bedfordshire will depend on so many things — whether your loved one wanted a specific spot, whether the location is easily accessible by car, and whether you’re looking for a religious or non-religious ceremony. Perhaps you’d like a location near to the river in the town of Bedford, or you might want a more rural location, like the pretty, riverside market town of Sandy.

To simplify things for you, we’ve put information on each crematorium and cemetery from Google Maps into the interactive map below so you can find what you need quickly and easily. Just hover over each pin to see more information.

What are the benefits of using granite for headstones?

It’s no surprise that granite is such a popular choice for headstones:

  • Granite is incredibly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions
  • It’s a versatile stone with many colours and finishes available
  • Designs and lettering etched onto granite won’t fade
  • Granite is a traditional material for headstones
  • Honed granite is allowed in most churchyards

Which letter colour lasts longest?

The letters for your inscription can be simply cut into the stone and left plain or they can be painted black, white, silver or gilded with gold leaf. They are all equally resillient to the weather but conditions will vary from location to location so the colour chosen should be based simply on personal choice. It is also worth noting that lettering which is placed on flat surfaces (ie on the top of a headstone base) will weather more quickly than those on the face of the headstone.

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.
