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
Went to see headstone. Love it. I did look around before I ordered it, and I still think there is nothing like it in the whole cemetery. Looks very classy with the silver lettering. Please pass on my thanks to those involved. Also, whoever erected it was very considerate to what was already there and replaced items respectfully. Already recommended your company to a lady who saw it and hasn’t had hers done yet. Thank you!
This was a custom memorial.

Such a good service from start to finish. Clear and courteous instruction on what information was needed from me and kept me informed throughout. Finished memorial stone is perfect and installed without a hitch. Thank you.

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.
