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.
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.
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.
Yes, if you wanted to fill the kerbs with soil and plants or buy your own chippings, we can leave this area empty.
Thank you it’s perfect and put in place sooner than I expected which is brilliant as it’s his birthday next week. I will recommend your company to anyone I know who has to get a headstone.

You made a difficult occasion and one done via e-mail very easy, dealing with all our special requests stone, colour, design etc. Communication and requests were always clear and your response to any queries always helpful, supportive and timely. The headstone is in place as advised and it looks beautiful.

Excellent service from the whole team at Memorial of Distinction. They answered all our questions quickly by phone or email however daft they were. They gave regular updates on progress and even in these Covid times turned the stone round in the quoted time. The headstone and edging look amazing as well as the price being very competitive. I highly recommend this firm.
