Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can I design my own Memorial Stone?

If the particular shape or style of memorial you would like is not in our standard collection, we will be happy to review your proposal for a bespoke design. Whether it is just swapping one type of vase or grave statue for another or creating a whole new design, we have the expertise to guide you through it. Call or email us to discuss in more detail.

What can you use to decorate a grave?

Aside from grave ornaments, you can also use different types of decorations to personalise a memorial. Fresh or artificial flowers are a common choice, allowing you to bring colour and beauty to the site. Candles or solar lights can provide a soft, comforting glow. Personal touches like engraved stones, photo plaques, or even wind chimes can also add a special, unique element to the memorial. Each decoration should reflect the memory and personality of the individual, creating a lasting tribute that feels personal and meaningful.

Excellent service and a quality product. Having originally purchase a headstone from them for my father, I recently asked them to add my mums details after her passing and to re-letter my dad’s guilding. Everything was completed to an excellent standard and I would highly recommend them.

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The headstone is absolutely perfect and what a fantastic job the workmen did erecting it. To say I am pleased with it is an understatement.

Many many thanks.
