Cover slabs are solid slabs of matching or contrasting stone which fit inside the space created by kerbs and are an alternative to soil or chippings.
Kerbed memorials include a line of stone which forms a rectangular edge covering the whole grave. This space this creates can be topped with a solid slab of matching or contrasting stone. You can also use cover slabs on smaller Garden Kerbs, these are small kerbs which can be added to most of our headstones and can often be installed in locations where full kerb memorials are not permitted. Call us with details of your grave site and we will be able to check whether they are allowed.
Kerbs are a line of stone which forms a rectangular edge covering the whole grave. This is usually made from the same stone as the headstone but can be changed for a contrasting material if preferred. The centre area can be filled with coloured glass chippings, soil or a cover slab according to your taste.
Yes, we can put a small graveside surround called ‘Garden Kerbs’ around any headstone, providing the cemetery gives permission. We will be able to advise you on this and apply for a permit on your behalf.
Yes, if you wanted to fill the kerbs with soil and plants or buy your own chippings, we can leave this area empty.
Thank you it’s perfect and put in place sooner than I expected which is brilliant as it’s his birthday next week. I will recommend your company to anyone I know who has to get a headstone.
This was a ren0vation and additional inscription.

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.
