GHS417 Monolith Headstone with Swan Carving Westmoreland Green Slate
This beautiful slate headstone features a relief-carved swan design and keyline.
Westmoreland Green Slate is an extremely high quality material which is the product of the last remaining working slate mine in England. Every memorial is individually hand-made giving you quite literally, “a slice of the Lake District”. Also known as Honister Green Slate, it is revered for its durability, texture, density, longevity and colour. Quite simply, it is regarded by many in the industry as the finest masonry stone in the world.
This style of carving on slate falls into the “specialist/artist carving” category and is consequently more expensive than most others. The carving can be changed to one that is appropriate to the deceased and will be priced on application. The letters shown are “cut-only” and therefore left without any kind of paint finish.
The size of this memorial is 3’0” high x 1’6” wide x 2” thick (above ground). It is a Monolith Style of headstone, fixed directly into the ground.
This memorial comes with:
- Cut-only keyline
- Swan carving
As standard all of our memorials include:
- FREE 80 letter inscription
- Fixing by our NAMM & BRAMM qualified Fixers
- 30 year stonework guarantee
Anything not listed above will be an extra cost.

TESTIMONIALS
I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a headstone. The process of ordering was straight forward, they were efficient & responded quickly. The actual headstone itself is stunning. The craftsmanship in making the angel is outstanding. Very happy.

What a great company to deal with, very professional and helpful, they have just refurbished my parents headstone for me, very pleased with the result and I would recommend this Company to anyone looking for a friendly and helpful service.
This was a renovation at Woodwells Cemetery, Hemel Hempstead, Herts.

We can not recommend Memorials of Distinction highly enough. As a family we wanted to order two memorials for two cemetery family plots, this could have been very stressful. From the moment of making the initial phone call to book an appointment at the Dunstable branch to completion of the memorials, the staff were very polite, friendly and helpful with a good knowledge to advise on how the end product would look. This was all during the COVID pandemic and although there was a delay at the docks on the material being delivered we were constantly kept updated with the progress. Now the memorials have been placed we could not be more pleased with the quality of the workmanship and without doubt would certainly recommend this company. Many thanks to all staff involved.
