About Headstones & Lawn Memorials
Our headstones and lawn memorials offer a timeless and dignified way to commemorate your loved one, especially in the lawn sections used by many modern UK cemeteries. If you are comparing headstones, gravestones, or traditional lawn memorials, this collection brings together the most popular upright granite designs for neat, well-kept cemetery lawns. Each memorial is crafted from premium stone chosen for its long-term durability in British weather.
With more than 25 years of dedicated craftsmanship, Sandalwood Memorials understands how personal it is to choose the right headstone. Our stonemasons shape each lawn memorial with care and provide bespoke inscription services, guiding you through wording, fonts, layout, and ornament options. We also help families match a memorial to local cemetery regulations, which is especially important where height, width, and finish restrictions apply.
You can enhance your lawn memorial with sandblasted motifs, photo plaques, or coordinated granite vases to create a more personal tribute. From first enquiry to installation, we provide a supportive process for families looking for headstones near them, replacement gravestones, or new memorials for a recently purchased plot. For a structured overview of tombstones, gravestones and headstones in the UK, see our dedicated hub.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard size for a headstone or lawn memorial?
Standard headstones and lawn memorials typically measure 2ft 6in or 3ft in height, though we can customise the size to meet your specific requirements and cemetery regulations. The width and depth can also be adjusted to accommodate longer inscriptions or additional features. It's important to check with your cemetery about any size restrictions before finalising your headstone design.
Can I add a photo to my headstone?
Yes, absolutely. We offer photo plaques that can be incorporated into your headstone or lawn memorial design. These can feature a photograph of your loved one, laser-etched or printed onto a durable ceramic or granite plaque. Photo plaques are available in various sizes and can be positioned on the headstone to create a personal and meaningful tribute.
What finishes are available for headstones?
Our headstones and lawn memorials are available in several finishes including polished, honed, and pitched. A polished finish provides a glossy, reflective surface that highlights the natural beauty of the granite. A honed finish offers a smooth, matte appearance, whilst a pitched finish creates a textured, traditional look. The choice of finish can significantly affect the headstone's appearance and should be considered alongside the granite colour you select.
How do I choose the right inscription for a headstone?
Choosing an inscription is a deeply personal decision. We offer guidance on inscription styles, fonts, and wording to help you create something meaningful. Most headstones include space for the name, dates, and a short epitaph or verse. We can also incorporate religious symbols, decorative borders, or other personal touches. Our team is here to help you through this process and can provide examples and suggestions based on your preferences.
