Greek Orthodox memorial traditions have shaped a distinctive monument style that is among the most recognisable in Sydney's cemeteries. Key traditions and considerations include:
Greek families typically favour substantial, visually prominent full monuments. Double monuments are particularly common, planned from the outset to accommodate both partners.
The Greek Orthodox cross is a central element of most Greek monuments, typically carved into or raised above the headstone. Icons of Christ, the Virgin Mary and patron saints are also commonly incorporated into the design.
Greek monuments carry inscriptions in both Greek and English. We are experienced in setting out Greek script inscriptions correctly alongside English text.
Gold leaf is widely used on Greek monuments and gives the inscription a rich, traditional appearance that is characteristic of the community's memorial style.
Portrait photographs are a central feature of most Greek monuments and are considered an important part of honouring the deceased.
Traditional accessories on Greek monuments. Candle boxes allow families to light a candle during visits, in keeping with Greek Orthodox tradition.
