  • Timing: Traditionally erected 11–12 months after burial, following the mourning period.
  • Simplicity: Many congregations favour simplicity, though customs vary between Ashkenazi, Sephardi and other traditions.
  • Symbols: Magen David, Menorah, Priestly Blessing hands (Kohanim), pitcher (Levites).
  • Photos: Not permitted in certain Orthodox sections. We confirm what is allowed in your specific section.
The Ceremony

The Consecration (Unveiling)

The consecration is the ceremony at which the monument is formally dedicated, typically held 11–12 months after burial.

Plan ahead

With an 8–12 week production timeline, contact us at least 3–4 months before your planned consecration date.

Inscriptions

Hebrew Inscriptions

The inscription on a Jewish monument typically includes both Hebrew and English text, carefully laid out to present correctly on the stone.

Our masons are experienced in setting out Hebrew and English text together — ensuring correct Hebrew spelling, letter spacing, proportions and layout.

Typical Hebrew inscription
פ״נ
Here lies buried (traditional opening)
שם
Hebrew name of the deceased
תאריך
Hebrew date of passing
ת.נ.צ.ב.ה
May their soul be bound in the bond of eternal life

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I order a Jewish headstone?

As soon as practically possible after burial. Contact us 3–4 months before your planned consecration date to allow sufficient lead time.

Can you help with Hebrew wording and layout?

Yes. We advise on traditional formulations, correct spelling and layout, and prepare a design proof for your approval before any work begins.

What granite colours are appropriate?

There are no laws restricting certain colours. The most common are different shades of black, grey and red. We have over 25 colours to choose from.

Do you coordinate with the Jewish section administration?

Yes. We handle all permits, approvals and liaison with the relevant Jewish cemetery trust on your behalf.
