Understanding Headstone Prices

Explore our comprehensive headstone prices guide for 2026, designed to help you understand the costs involved in creating a lasting memorial. Here at Artisan Memorials, we provide transparent pricing across our range of memorials, delivering nationwide throughout the UK.

It is our firm belief that everyone should be able to create a tribute to their loved one that means something to them – something tangible that they can visit and cherish for decades to come. This is why we always try to strike a careful balance between quality materials and prices that are friendly to a range of different budgets.

How much do gravestones cost?

Our products are priced as follows:

Memorial plaques starting from £800
Cremation headstones and gravestones starting from £2,000
Headstones and gravestones starting from £2,500
Kerb set arrangements starting from £4,500

How does payment work?

In terms of payment, we require 50% of the overall fee once the memorial design has been finalised, and the remaining 50% can be paid once the memorial itself has been installed.

It’s also worth noting that you will normally have to pay a small installation fee to the church or cemetery where the gravestone will be installed.

If you have any questions about the headstone prices and gravestone prices at Artisan Memorials, a member of our team would be happy to discuss this with you. If we have a budget to work with from the start, our dedicated stonemason will be able to work around this to ensure things don’t get too expensive.

  Creating a memorial for my parents has been a heartwarming experience with Artisan Memorials. From first enquiry through the design process and the administrative tasks around it, the service from David and Megan has been exceptionally human! The craftsmanship of the memorial has been a joy to behold and communication at all stages second to none. Thank you to all the team at Artisan Memorials for making this such a welcome customer experience.

  The artisan memorials team and particularly Megan were absolutely fantastic with our very fussy needs from start to finish. They really helped make what is an incredibly difficult time all the much easier with patience and understanding, nothing was too much trouble. From searching for 'just the right stone' to advocating on our behalf with our local council, Megan was just the person we needed, and Mark did an absolutely amazing job on the carving and preparation. As much as we hope to never have to need them again, if we do need another memorial, we will be coming back to them without a second thought.

  I honestly cannot recommend this memorial company enough. The communication throughout the whole process was exceptional, and the care, support and service they provided made what can be a very difficult and emotional journey so much easier.

The headstone has turned out absolutely beautiful, exactly as I had imagined it, and I couldn’t be happier with the final result.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a memorial for their loved one.

  Exceptionally good in every respect. Delivered beyond my expectations, and were not only incredibly helpful with suggestions with stone type and design, they communicated perfectly, updating with photos. They managed the entire process seamlessly, dealing with the church and the council. Nothing was too much trouble.  Despite a short window, they delivered and fitted my grandmother's stone in time.

  I can't say enough good things about Artisan! They made a tricky time and decisions so much easier, were communicative at every stage and create beautiful designs, working with you to ensure you're fully happy with the results. Megan, who is the main point of contact, is incredible and Mark, David, Marcello and the team are second to none. A real family business that focuses on your every need. Thank you so much!

  I cannot express enough my gratitude to the whole team at Artisan. It has taken me over a decade to finally get a headstone for my loved one’s grave. I am so glad I found Artisan, they absolutely understood what I wanted. They were patience personified as the family discussed minute details of wording, typeface and layout. Their expertise, enthusiasm and craftsmanship was so uplifting during an emotional journey. Thankyou.
