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.
Very very pleased with the outcome. The headstone looks fantastic. The whole family would like to thank your company for an excellent job.

Thank you for your e mail. I have just returned from Brighton Woodvale Burial Ground and must thank you and your company for the wonderful job that has been done on my late son’s tablet stone. The fitting is superb and the professional manner in which the entire transaction has been carried out is second to none! Thank you all so very, very much. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services.

Good evening. I found Harvey’s headstone on Friday morning. I cried so many tears. But the headstone is absolutely amazing. I’m blown away by the details of the stars.
It’s an absolutely outstanding tribute to my beautiful boy. Well done to those who made it. Many thanks.
