A final resting place in Birmingham
Whether your loved one lived in Birmingham, or they had a special connection with the city, it is best to choose their final resting place before you select a custom memorial, traditional headstone or memorial ornament. This is to ensure that you are aware in advance of any rules over what the cemeteries and crematoriums permit.
Birmingham has great transport links, with plenty of direct trains to London, and easy access to numerous destinations up and down the UK. This makes it perfect for ensuring family and friends can visit the memorial site often.
There are a variety of natural beauty spots within Birmingham. From country parks to peaceful lakes, there are plenty of lovely areas for walks after visiting the cemetery or crematorium.
Cemeteries and crematoriums in Birmingham
If you have chosen Birmingham as the preferred location, it can still be a difficult task to select a crematorium or cemetery for a memorial. You may be looking for an area with a particular view or perhaps near to water. To help simplify the process, we have created a useful interactive map, containing information on each crematorium and cemetery from Google Maps. Just hover over a pin to view contact details for that location.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay by instalments?
Our standard terms for payment are as follows:
First Installment
20% Deposit when memorial ordered as above.
Second Installment
75% of balance plus burial ground fee payable when permit received from cemetery or church authority. Obtaining permit takes on average 2-3 weeks from first installment.

Can we have any memorial in any colour?
Most of our memorial designs can be manufactured in a different colour/material to the one shown. See our Materials & Finishes page for more information on what is available. There may be some restrictions placed on your choice of material by the cemetery or churchyard. We will be able to advise you about that once you tell us where your loved one is to be interred. The price for memorials made from non-standard material will vary from the ones shown on our website so please contact us for a quote.
Can I buy my memorial online?
Memorials of Distinction believe that purchasing a memorial headstone is such an important decision that it is not suited to an on-line ‘add to my basket’ type of purchase. There are also many variables in the process which will affect your order, for example what is allowed by your particular cemetery and whether your inscription will fit on the memorial you have chosen.
It is possible to order over the phone or by email using the details on our Contact Page where our staff will be able to help and advise you.
We also offer a home visit service within certain areas, which is completely free of charge and obligation. One of our knowledgeable staff will visit you in the comfort and privacy of your home to help you to choose a design, decide on an appropriate wording and answer any other questions you may have.
Any administration or correspondence with local authorities, cemeteries or church authorities is dealt with by Memorials of Distinction on your behalf – you will not have to worry about this aspect of the process.
