Areas We Cover

Is there a cheaper alternative to a headstone?

There are several more affordable alternatives to a traditional headstone. Memorial plaques, for example, are small engraved markers that can be placed on a grave or at a memorial site. These are typically less expensive than full headstones. A tree or plant memorial can also be a meaningful and cost-effective choice, with a living tribute that grows over time.

Can I pay by instalments?

Our standard terms for payment are as follows:

First Installment
20% Deposit when memorial ordered as above.

Second Installment
75% of balance plus burial ground fee payable when permit received from cemetery or church authority. Obtaining permit takes on average 2-3 weeks from first installment.

Final Installment
Final balance payable on completion (ie. when memorial is in place, approximately 16 weeks after receipt of second installment).

We also offer a select few memorial designs with a payment plan in place (conditions apply)

Which letter colour lasts longest?

The letters for your inscription can be simply cut into the stone and left plain or they can be painted black, white, silver or gold. For those looking for a premium finish, having the cut lettering gilded with gold leaf is also an option. They are all equally resillient to the weather but conditions will vary from location to location so the colour chosen should be based simply on personal choice. It is also worth noting that lettering which is placed on flat surfaces (ie on the top of a headstone base) will weather more quickly than those on the face of the headstone.
