Memorials of Distinction have over 35 years’ experience in stonemasonry and serving the picturesque area of Surrey, including Camberley, Wokingham and Guildford. Our expert team crafts elegant gravestones and will ensure you have just the right one for your departed loved one, whether it be a full kerbed memorial, cremation plaque or a bespoke headstone. We have a wide range of high-quality products available.
You or your loved one has chosen Surrey for their final resting place, but every cemetery is different and each has its own atmosphere, requirements and prices. When choosing a cemetery, you’ll have to visit and ask them directly about any specific rules before you choose a custom gravestone, traditional headstones or perhaps a memorial photoplaque.
Surrey is very close to London, making transport links easy for visiting friends and family, but it also has a country feel, with lots of green spaces and ancient woodland. In fact, Surrey is the most wooded county in England, so there are lots of tranquil places to go walking after visiting the cemetery or crematorium.
When you have lost a loved one, contacting crematoriums and cemeteries can feel overwhelming. To help you, we have put together an interactive map. All you have to do is hover over a pin to see the contact details — this saves you trawling the internet in search of a telephone number.
There are a number of things you may want to ask the crematorium or cemetery about, so write them down and have these to hand before you call. For example, whether you can purchase a family plot, what headstone styles are allowed and what size headstones are permitted.
There are so many special locations in Surrey — Woking Crematorium has a peaceful lake, Burvale Cemetery offers a traditional lawn and Randalls Park Crematorium has a multi-faith chapel. Take a look below.
When choosing what to put on a baby’s headstone, many choose words that reflect the baby’s spirit, the love felt for them, and the impact they had on the people around them during their short time. Consider including their name, birth and passing dates, and perhaps a loving message like “Forever in Our Hearts” or “A Precious Angel.” You may also want to add a symbol or image that represents their personality or a cherished memory.
It is often the case that a couple will want to be interred in the same place. When this is the case we will lay out the lettering, designs and photos on your chosen memorial so that it leaves space for an additional inscription of similar size. A book memorial or triple heart memorial is a great way to achieve this.
Standard overall height for most memorials are 2ft 6″ or 3ft but we can customise our designs to whatever size or material you need, subject to availability and approval by the cemetery. The prices in our Value Memorial range are just for the sizes/materials shown but contact us for a quote if you need slightly different. Our memorials also come in a variety of shapes, such as our book-shaped gravestones and heart-shaped gravestones.
