A final resting place in Kent
Kent is a county full of picturesque coastlines. The area is often referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ due to its stunning natural beauty. This beautiful location offers plenty of places to take a reflective walk after a service or memorial.
Kent has great transport links to London and the surrounding areas. There are also accessible motorway connections, such as the M20, which opens up Kent to other areas of the UK. This makes it easy for friends and family to visit often.
When choosing a cemetery, it is best to ask them directly about specific rules and regulations they may have, before you select any custom gravestones, carved headstones or memorial photoplaques.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay by instalments?
Our standard terms for payment are as follows:

75% of balance plus burial ground fee payable when permit received from cemetery or church authority. Obtaining permit takes on average 2-3 weeks from first installment.

Can we have any memorial in any colour?
Most of our memorial designs can be manufactured in a different colour/material to the one shown. See our Materials & Finishes page for more information on what is available. There may be some restrictions placed on your choice of material by the cemetery or churchyard. We will be able to advise you about that once you tell us where your loved one is to be interred. The price for memorials made from non-standard material will vary from the ones shown on our website so please contact us for a quote.
Can I buy my memorial online?
Memorials of Distinction believe that purchasing a memorial headstone is such an important decision that it is not suited to an on-line ‘add to my basket’ type of purchase. There are also many variables in the process which will affect your order, for example what is allowed by your particular cemetery and whether your inscription will fit on the memorial you have chosen.
It is possible to order over the phone or by email using the details on our Contact Page where our staff will be able to help and advise you.
We also offer a home visit service which is completely free of charge and obligation. One of our knowledgeable staff will visit you in the comfort and privacy of your home to help you to choose a design, decide on an appropriate wording and answer any other questions you may have.
Any administration or correspondence with local authorities, cemeteries or church authorities is dealt with by Memorials of Distinction on your behalf – you will not have to worry about this aspect of the process.
