Gravestone Frequently Asked Questions

We understand how difficult this process can be and Headstones London is here to help you through it at every step.

We will talk you through the whole process from start to finish whether your loved one has been buried or cremated we can explain all the options and choices available to you and the process involved – give us a call on 07778-812-122 to discuss your options.

We can also deal with the cemeteries on your behalf, so once you decide on how you want to mark the grave of a loved one we take care of everything.

Headstones London personally recommend to not erect a headstone until 3-6months after the burial, as this allows the ground to settle fully, thus avoiding the possibility of the stone leaning in the future.

The 3-6 month rule does not apply to cremation memorials or vases, which can be fixed as soon as the grave is purchased.

Note: Some burial grounds have a concrete plinth placed at the back of the grave to allow for immediate installation, which we can find out if you wish.

Absolutely! We can quote for any type of headstone or memorial in any material from either a photograph, drawing or description.
