Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a headstone?

This very much depends on the size and material of your chosen headstone. We have memorial stones to suit every budget. If you take a look at our Value Memorials range you will see that they start as low as £865 and go up to many thousands for large custom memorials with lots of extras. If you are keen to keep costs low, it is best to choose a simplistic memorial design, such as the VR1 and base the length of your inscription on the free letter allowance offered with the specific memorial design chosen. For a more personalised memorial there are optional extras like photo plaques, statues and other decorative items.

What photos should you use for a grave photo plaque?

When choosing photos for a grave photoplaque, it’s important to use the best quality photo available. Avoid choosing images with filters or physical damage, as these will affect the translation of the image onto the stone. It’s best to choose images that aren’t too zoomed out and don’t have a busy, distracting background.

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.
