Hey

Depending on what sort of headstone you are looking for will depend on the cost. But you would be looking in the region of JA$80,000 for a granite headstone which has been engraved. Please use a currency converter to calculate the current exchange rate, as it changes so much.

Hope this helps.

You're welcome. This price was from 2012, but I doubt it has changed significantly since then. The rate with the UK is not good right now, it had a massive crash after the vote to leave the EU and hasn't recovered. It has been floundering around $160 something for a good while now...

There are聽 a few stonemasons listed under 'Monuments' on the Jamaican Yellow Pages website, where you may be able to get a quotation if you contact them. Try this website, where there numbered headstone designs shown. You can email them directly for a price, so you have an better idea of what to expect.

Good luck!
