A single monument is a dignified way to honour a family member. Thoughtfully designed and expertly crafted, these memorials provide a lasting place of remembrance while meeting cemetery requirements.
Traditional vertical headstones that provide space for inscriptions, symbols and decorative elements. A popular choice for classic cemetery sections across Sydney. A full single monument consists of a headstone, base, kerbing, and usually a slab.
While a full single monument is designed to commemorate one individual, it can also be planned to accommodate more than one burial or interment within the same plot.
A double-depth headstone allows two people to be laid to rest together beneath a single monument, with separate inscriptions added over time.

The choice of granite sets the tone for the entire memorial. From classic jet black to warm imperial red, blue pearl or noble grey — we carry a wide range of colours and grades. The finish (polished, honed or natural rock) also affects the design of the monument significantly.
Headstones can be cut to a range of profiles including straight top, serpentine, pillar, arch and more. Each shape lends a subtly different character to the memorial. Our masons will show you examples and guide you toward a shape that suits both your taste and the cemetery section.
The words on a monument are its most personal element. We offer a full range of lettering styles and engraving methods — cut-in natural, gold leaf, painted lettering. We also advise on font, layout and wording. If you are unsure what to write, we can help with that too.
Religious symbols, decorative motifs, laser-etched portraits, ceramic photographs, vases and candle boxes can all be incorporated depending on the cemetery section's regulations and your family's preferences.
The granite you choose has the single biggest impact on how your monument looks and how long it lasts. We only work with granite that will stand the test of time. Our masons will guide you through the options based on your aesthetic preferences and budget.
