Choosing the right memorial for a departed loved one is never easy. At Memorials of Distinction we take pride in the vast range of high-quality, hand-carved headstones and gravestones in our collection, and we truly believe that there is something to suit everyone. However, we understand that only you know how best to remember your loved one – and you may feel that traditional headstones simply do not offer the space to sufficiently pay tribute. That’s why we offer much more than simply headstones. Decorating the area around a graveYou can then think about what finish you would like the headstone to have. There are a few options: Honed: Non-reflective, this design is made by removing the polish using dust, and it’s often used if the headstone will have colours on. We decorate graves as a tradition. We do this as it personalises the grave for identification purposes (engravings and portraits) and to comfort mourners who visit. Many people struggle to know what to do and say when a loved one dies and decorating a grave can provide focus and a way of expressing love and grief. Rituals are hugely comforting in times of distress.

The kerbed memorials we offer can be filled with plants and greenery, coloured chippings or a stone cover slab to match the headstone. This marks out a space, inside the grave edging, that you can choose to customise as you wish, truly making the most of the space. Some also incorporate specific design features like the winding path memorial and our open book memorials which allow additional space for an engraving. The cost of a kerbed memorial Putting additional items on and around a grave elevates it into something that feels truly personal, avoiding the uniformity of a simple headstone which may not stand out from those surrounding it. That’s why at Memorials of Distinction our grave decoration designs cater to all tastes, ensuring you can find the ornament, statue, vase or other decorative item that feels just right.Marble, limestone, granite, and bronze headstones are common choices. When choosing the material, consider how easy it is to maintain and the overall finish you’d like it to have. Part polished: You can choose to have the face of the headstone as a glossy finish, and the rest of the headstone unpolished. Once you’ve decided what material you would like, you’ll need to think about the design of the headstone. Your Funeral Director will be able to talk you through the options, which will include the following: Upright headstones: A traditional choice, this type of memorial stone can be made in a variety of sizes and finishes and is fixed to the ground with a concrete base. Once you have chosen the elements that will make up your loved one’s resting place, you might feel that you want a way to unify them all into a single memorial. One of the best ways to do this is to opt for a kerbed memorial . This is a style of memorial that extends from the headstone at ground level to cover the full grave, creating a contained and garden-like effect which complements the items you have chosen, and helps to make them look their best.

Planning ahead for your own funeral can help to keep costs down and give family and friends peace of mind that they are following your wishes.
