All the headstones, gravestones, and memorials that I make are unique bespoke and handcarved individual pieces of work. When a client asks me how much it will cost, this will depend on the following factors: On average a small single plaque or headstone will start from about £1250 upwards depending on requirements. Installation and cemetery costs are at an additional cost. Consultations and designs can be done online.
Simon Burns-Cox has recently made a memorial for Mr David Hutcheson which is to be installed at The GreenFerry Trust Garden in South Queensferry near Edinburgh in August 2020.
Today, more people are chosing to be cremated rather than buried. Six in ten people (58% of the population) opt for cremation which means that you will be limited in the choice of memorials you can choose for your loved one.
When it comes to choosing a Headstone, there are a few things you will need to consider at this difficult time. Do not try to rush into making a decision immediately. It is better to wait for at least six months to a year or more before you decide on how to commemorate the loved one.
