The cost of a headstone is one of the most common questions families ask — and understandably so. Memorialisation comes at a time when finances are often already stretched by funeral costs, and knowing what to expect helps families plan and make informed decisions without added stress.
What Affects the Price?
- The size of the stone (height, width, and depth)
- The type and quality of granite chosen
- Whether photo imagery is included
- The complexity of the lettering and design
- Whether base works or kerb sets are required
- Nationwide fitting and travel costs
- Whether restoration or refurbishment is needed
Typical Price Ranges
Traditional granite headstones without photography typically start from around £800–£1,200 for a standard size tablet with inscription. High-resolution photo headstones, due to the specialist process involved, typically start from £1,400. We provide a full, fixed-price quote before any work begins — there are never any hidden costs.
Payment Plans Available
We understand that not all families can pay in full upfront. Magic Memorials offers flexible payment plans that allow you to spread the cost of your memorial over an agreed period with no credit check required. Contact us to discuss what works for you.

Are You Paying Too Much Elsewhere?
Many families are quoted significantly higher prices by funeral directors or middlemen who outsource the actual stone work. Buying direct from a stonemason like Magic Memorials means you cut out the middleman and get better quality at a fairer price.
