How we do it

Combining the best of modern technology with artistic skill allows us to provide high quality memorials to the families we work with.

Using our CNC machine, we’re able to engrave designs, letters, and characters with precision, getting every detail right. We then gild the lettering or characters in gold leaf or paint them by hand.

We also specialise in photo headstones imported from Italy, which are superior in quality. Their vibrant colours and shine will stand the test of time.

DRAFT AND SIGN-OFF

We’ll send you a draft of the design. At this stage, any revisions or changes can still be made. After you approve the final design, we’ll start working on the headstone or plaque for your loved one.

DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION

Within four to six weeks* from sign-off, all the required permits will have been arranged and the monument will be ready to be installed, weather-permitting.

*This can possibly be made sooner if the family needs to work to a specific date.

Other services offered

Black headstone with engraved text, including names and dates of deceased individuals, a small photo insert, and a cross. Surrounded by grass and other gravestones.

Restoration

We also refurbish existing monuments and the surrounding berm. This includes refreshing the headstone/plaque with new lettering, gilding, and/or paint through water blasting and tidying.
