Looking to get a rough idea of how much a headstone costs in Sydney? In this guide we'll give you some rough prices and discuss what affects costs. If you want to get an exact price for a memorial, feel free to get in touch with our team of masons.
Headstone costs in Sydney vary depending on the type of monument, the granite selected, inscription complexity, accessories and cemetery permit fees. The prices below are general prices. If you want to get an exact price, speak to us today to discuss your needs.
Every quote we provide is fully itemised. The main factors that influence the final cost are:
Granite quality and colour is the single biggest variable in monument pricing. Different grades of the same granite can vary significantly in cost and durability. We only work with granite that will stand the test of time.
A flat lawn plaque is significantly less than a full double monument with kerbing and slab. The type of memorial your section permits will be a key factor in the overall cost.
The length of the inscription, the lettering style (cut-in, gold leaf, painted enamel), and whether non-Latin scripts such as Hebrew, Greek or Cyrillic are required all affect the engraving cost.
Ceramic portrait photographs, vases, candle boxes and other accessories add to the overall cost. We will advise on what is available and permitted in your specific section.
Every Sydney cemetery charges a permit fee for new monument installations and additional inscriptions. These fees are set by the cemetery and vary between sections. All permit fees are included in our itemised quotes.
A simple flat-top headstone is less costly to produce than an ornate shaped or sculpted profile. Our masons will show you the options available for your budget and section.

It depends on the monument type, granite selected, inscription complexity, accessories and cemetery permit fees.

Yes. Every quote from Binstock & Sons includes all cemetery permit fees. There are no hidden costs — what we quote is what you pay.
The biggest variable is granite quality. Different grades of the same granite — for example, different grades of black granite — can vary significantly in quality and price. A noticeably cheaper quote almost always means lower quality stone. A monument that fades or cracks in 10 years is not the saving it appeared to be.
No — burial plot costs are paid directly to the cemetery and are separate from headstone costs. Our quotes cover only the monument, engraving and cemetery permit for the headstone installation.
Yes. Contact us with the cemetery, section and what you have in mind and we will prepare a fully itemised quote at no obligation.
