Export

We will gladly crate-up and export memorials if your burial site is abroad. You will need to make the shipping arrangements yourself but we are happy to liaise with an agent about timings and prepare your memorial for collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a cheaper alternative to a headstone?

There are several more affordable alternatives to a traditional headstone. Memorial plaques, for example, are small engraved markers that can be placed on a grave or at a memorial site. These are typically less expensive than full headstones. A tree or plant memorial can also be a meaningful and cost-effective choice, with a living tribute that grows over time.

How many words are included?

We quote for inscriptions by character/letter rather than words. All our memorials with a cut/painted inscription include 80 letters for free and all our memorials with a cut /gilded with gold leaf inscription include 60 letters for free. How many words this translates to will depend on your individual inscription text. Each character beyond the number included with the memorial will cost £1.95 if painted or £2.80 if gilded with gold leaf on Granite, Marble, Portland Stone or Nabresina. Whilst many inscriptions are cut & gilded with gold leaf, having the inscription painted black/silver/white/gold remains an option. If you require lead lettering please contact us for a quote. Additional inscriptions being added to existing memorials will cost more and are priced on an individual basis.

Can I add kerbs in front of a small/children's memorial?

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.

I thought i had already written a review but I obviously forgot. I am so so happy with my parents headstone that, even now, 18 months later, I still can't believe how lovely it is and how well made it is. We wanted to do our parents proud after my mum passed - and I believe we did.
Memorials of distinction are a wonderful company. From start to finish it was a seamless, easy, pleasant transaction. We were kept in the loop at all times regarding delivery, wording and design and installation. On the day it was installed i rushed down to have a look and just burst into tears. It really is a fantastic headstone that was so well made.
I would HIGHLY recommend this company. I was a bit nervous because we did everything on the phone and online but I wasnt disappointed at all.
Im sorry its so late but I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Your professionalism and your attention to detail and the standard of your work is one that you should be very proud of.
Once again - THANK YOU 😊

Could not be happier with the finished product of my mother memorial. Quality of polished granite, precision work in executing the detail of design -all perfect. Memorials of Distinction always patient and willing to accommodate a grieving families often disparate views on design. Took on liaison with the designated Cemetry for installation to relieve any further burden; gave us a timeline for sourcing the granite, production and fitting and met that timeline. And a good price for all inclusive. Memorials of Distinction have a satellite North London office where samples can be viewed and instruction agreed. A very very happy experience when it really mattered.
