We've been creating headstones and monuments for Sydney families since 1958. Whether you're just starting to think about creating a headstone or ready to move forward, we're here to help. Below you will find everything you need to know about building a headstone in Sydney.
A complete, full-scale memorial comprising a headstone, base, kerbing and usually a slab — the most substantial and prominent option in Sydney's monumental sections.
Despite the name, a single monument can sometimes accommodate two people. Our masons will advise based on your section's requirements.
Same full structure as a single monument but built usually with twice the width to accommodate two people side by side. Typically constructed when the first partner passes, with the second inscription added when needed.
A smaller and more economical memorial that consists of an upright headstone mounted on a granite base. Can be designed for one or two people, in single or double width depending on section specifications.
These monuments tend to be on the smaller side and what is permitted varies significantly. It can be a headstone and base, a small tablet, or a flat plaque flush with the ground.
We work with granite, marble and sandstone, but for the vast majority of Sydney families, we normally recommend granite.
Granite is the most durable stone available for outdoor memorials in Australia. Properly selected and installed, it keeps its polish, retains inscription legibility, and maintains its appearance for lifetimes. It comes in a wide range of colours and finishes that will suit any cemetery.
Marble and sandstone: marble for families who prefer its classic appearance or where heritage sections require. Sandstone primarily for heritage and restoration work. Our masons will advise you honestly on which material suits your specific section and circumstances.
We work with 16+ granite colours and finishes, from classic jet black and noble grey to imperial reds, blue pearl and Carrara marble.

Sydney is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, and its cemeteries reflect that. Every community has its own traditions, regulations and design customs around memorialisation, and our family has spent 65 years building genuine expertise across all of them.

Every cemetery in Sydney regulates the headstones and monuments that can be installed within it. These rules typically cover:
If you're reading this, you care about how your monument is going to hold up over time. The honest answer is that quality varies a lot in this industry — in the granite used, in the skill of the mason, and in the materials and methods applied.
Choosing granite is the right decision — it's the most durable and aesthetic option available. But granite quality varies more than most families realise. Low quality granite may look acceptable in the first few years, but over time it tends to fade and discolour, become more prone to cracking and lose inscription legibility entirely.
A monument that needs to be restored or replaced in twenty years is not the saving it appeared to be. If you want the monument to last, invest in quality from the start.

Yes, this is one of our most common services. We match the original font, size and lettering style precisely. Contact us with the cemetery details and we will provide a quote.
No. We can advise on what is permitted in your specific section before you visit. A photo of the existing memorial or plot can be helpful but is never required before contacting us.
Take your time to go through some of the sections on our website, including the memorial gallery. This should give you an idea about what is available and the designs that appeal to you. Alternatively, you can arrange to meet with one of our monumental masons either at our factory or in the cemetery.
This varies greatly depending on the cemetery, the particular section of the cemetery, and the type of memorial you require. If you're not sure and wish to find out, contact either the cemetery administration or a monumental mason.
We are here to guide you through every decision, honestly and without pressure.
