With three interconnected Black Granite hearts, the memorial shown features a contrasting path and steps in Bahama Blue Granite. The beautiful hand carved rose design is finished with an antique paint effect and there are also three vases. The memorial is shown here with optional coloured chippings or coverslab, a photo plaque and sandblasted robin design.
Chippings, Cover Slabs and Soil: The central area of a kerbed memorial can be filled with soil, chippings or a stone cover slab. These need to be ordered separately and are not included in the price above, unless otherwise stated.
Lettering: The first 80 letters is free. Each letter/character beyond that (cut & gold leaf or painted black/silver/white) costs £1.95 on a new memorial in Granite, Marble, Portland Stone or Nabresina. Contact us for a quote if you require lead lettering. If you wish to add lettering to an existing memorial this needs to be quoted for on a case by case basis. For more information, please read our Useful Guide on the cost of adding an inscription to a headstone.
Burial Ground Fee: These are the fees charged by cemeteries and crematoria. They are not a standard price but if you contact us with the grave location details we will be able to find out for you. Or, if you prefer, you could call the cemetery or crematorium directly for this information.

Get in touchMy siblings and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts on the replacement headstone after our mother passed away last year and joined our dad. We used your company for our dads original headstone and so it was a no brainier to use you again. The black granite open book headstone is absolutely gorgeous and very well professionally made to a very high standard. I was even fortunate enough to be given a chunk of the old headstone with my dads picture on it. Thank you so much for all your help from start to finish. I will highly recommend your company to anyone that asks.

A very easy process from start to installation of the memorial. The headstone was delivered and erected earlier than expected and the workmanship is amazing. Considering this work was carried out with Covid restrictions in place it was a simple process to get the perfect memorial for my family. I cannot recommend Memorials of Distinction enough, this was definitely a Five Star Service!

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.
