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.

Get in touchGood evening. I found Harvey’s headstone on Friday morning. I cried so many tears. But the headstone is absolutely amazing. I’m blown away by the details of the stars.
It’s an absolutely outstanding tribute to my beautiful boy. Well done to those who made it. Many thanks.

My memorial was delivered and fixed into place last week and having witnessed it in person it is amazing, everything myself and the family wished for and more. Even during a global pandemic it was delivered promptly without any unnecessary delays. Would highly recommend.

I can’t thank Memorials of Distinction enough for producing such a beautiful headstone. It was everything and more, that I had asked for. Everyone in the family was very happy and impressed. So thank you again for that miracle.
Lesley, you personally were so kind and understanding throughout the whole process, I’m convinced you may have wings.
