Memorial Chippings & Cover Slabs
The central area of a Kerbed Memorial can be filled with soil, plants, chippings or a stone coverslab. Step styles are also available such as in the GF133 Winding Path Memorial. Coloured glass & stone chippings are the perfect way to enhance kerbed memorials – they create an undeniably striking effect while remaining very simple to care for. They come in a wide range of colours so that you can truly personalise your kerbed memorial to reflect the personality of your loved one.

Cover Slabs
Kerbed memorials include a line of stone which forms a rectangular edge covering the whole grave. This space can be topped with a solid slab of matching or contrasting stone and is called a cover slab. See some examples below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a kerb set?
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.
Can you leave the centre of kerbing empty for us to fill it?
Yes, if you wanted to fill the kerbs with soil and plants or buy your own chippings, we can leave this area empty.
Do we need to make an appointment to visit your showroom?
Yes, showroom visits are by appointment only, on Thursdays and Saturdays. This is to ensure there is a member of staff available to help you for as long as you need. Please call our office on 01582 249990 to arrange a suitable time and date.

TESTIMONIALS
I would like to thank you for the efficient and friendly way in which you have dealt with the order. I have been to the cemetery and the memorial looks absolutely beautiful. If my family are looking down, they would be very proud of my legacy to them. Thank you once again for all your help.

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.

We are very pleased with the service that Memorials of Distinction provided, especially at a difficult time when it was not always easy to think clearly. We appreciate your patience and help throughout. The memorial looks even better than I imagined, especially the etching. Thank you for all your help.
This was a bespoke memorial.
Mortlake Cemetery, London SW14
