The classic lines and slate-like colour of this traditional headstone help to give it a striking effect while making it suitable for churchyards. It is an affordable alternative to slate, and features relief carved roses at the top as well as a flower vase. The 'antique' paint effect finish on the roses makes for an outstanding look in all weathers

Get in touchIt’s the little things that matter. Every member of staff that I had the pleasure to speak to far exceeded my expectations. Nothing was too much trouble, and the feeling of never being rushed, added to the overall good experience. We chose a pearl blue granite stone, which looks even better in reality. The finished result, including the cropping of photo to remove a hand and arm proved to be an excellent final touch, something we didn’t expect at all. So to say we are pleased with the overall service would be an understatement. MOD and the extended team provided an excellent service, and would highly recommend them.

The wait is over, and it was well worth every second. Memorials of Distinction delivered more than what the doctor ordered. Splendid piece of work. Art at its best. The whole extended family is impressed. I am sure my wife Engie in heaven is equally proud and happy of the finished product…talk of paying attention to detail. That’s what Engie was about. Well done and thank you guys.

I have no bad words to say about Memorials of Distinction. From the beginning they were extremely helpful as I had no idea where to start. The beautiful work on the memory stone is just incredible and I couldn’t have wished for something more unique. Thank you for your brilliant customer service. Highly recommend.
