Help and advice needed with the cost of a churchyard memorials for my parents grave .

I have been looking locally at granite type headstones, and very taken aback by the cost of buying one ,the engraving, and erection.

Not much change out of £ 1000 for a decent engraved headstone as far as I can tell.

I have tried prices from two local ( Northumberland ) stone masons but their prices are very similar.

I lost both my parents in a space of year,which was stressful and traumatic enough. I am still shell shocked by the events.
However on top of I have had to deal with large legals bills due to no wills for Granite And Stone Memorials, nearly losing the house to pay for nursing home fees, big funeral expenses , and the over budgeted cost of renovating the family home that was left to me.

All of this has cleaned me out financially , and now I am trying to find money to give them a decent memorial at their last resting place together.

I feel depressed and embarrassed that I cannot find any more funds to get the headstone erected and close the last chapter of a nightmare time for me.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas about getting down the potentially large headstone bill ?
Saving money locally ?
Can you buy a headstone on the internet ?
have other people found themselves in a similar situation or have my circumstances compound the issue ?

Any help or advice welcomed.

Kai, I feel your pain. Pls take heart bro
