Frequently Asked Questions

What photos should you use for a grave photo plaque?

When choosing photos for a grave photoplaque, it’s important to use the best quality photo available. Avoid choosing images with filters or physical damage, as these will affect the translation of the image onto the stone. It’s best to choose images that aren’t too zoomed out and don’t have a busy, distracting background.

Is there a cheaper alternative to a headstone?

There are several more affordable alternatives to a traditional headstone. Memorial plaques, for example, are small engraved markers that can be placed on a grave or at a memorial site. These are typically less expensive than full headstones. A tree or plant memorial can also be a meaningful and cost-effective choice, with a living tribute that grows over time.

Can a larger memorial be scaled down to a smaller size?

Yes, we are able to reduce the size of most memorials in our collection. If this is not possible due to a particularly intricate memorial style, we would be able to suggest something similar to achieve the effect you are after.

I thought i had already written a review but I obviously forgot. I am so so happy with my parents headstone that, even now, 18 months later, I still can't believe how lovely it is and how well made it is. We wanted to do our parents proud after my mum passed - and I believe we did.
Memorials of distinction are a wonderful company. From start to finish it was a seamless, easy, pleasant transaction. We were kept in the loop at all times regarding delivery, wording and design and installation. On the day it was installed i rushed down to have a look and just burst into tears. It really is a fantastic headstone that was so well made.
I would HIGHLY recommend this company. I was a bit nervous because we did everything on the phone and online but I wasnt disappointed at all.
Im sorry its so late but I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Your professionalism and your attention to detail and the standard of your work is one that you should be very proud of.
Once again - THANK YOU 😊

Could not be happier with the finished product of my mother memorial. Quality of polished granite, precision work in executing the detail of design -all perfect. Memorials of Distinction always patient and willing to accommodate a grieving families often disparate views on design. Took on liaison with the designated Cemetry for installation to relieve any further burden; gave us a timeline for sourcing the granite, production and fitting and met that timeline. And a good price for all inclusive. Memorials of Distinction have a satellite North London office where samples can be viewed and instruction agreed. A very very happy experience when it really mattered.

I can only echo the many other reviews... Memorials of Distinction are a pleasure to deal with.. nothing was too much trouble, they listen & they take real care. My request was for 2 stones, both customised (headstones reversed on one, plinths reversed on the other, different logos etc). And a really wonderful result.. thank you !
