If you'd like a headstone, speak to your funeral director who will guide you through your options. They'll also explain when the headstone will be added to the burial plot, as timings are different across the UK.
It's in the details
Engraving
Headstones are engraved in 4 main lettering styles, including a block font and a more decorative script style. Usually a headstone will have the person’s name, date of birth and date of death engraved. You can also add other wording like a tribute or quotation - your funeral director will let you know of any restrictions that apply in your area.
