How much does a headstone cost?

The cost of a memorial will vary greatly depending on the size, shape & colour of stone used. Standard memorial headstones range between $3000.00-$5000.00. A small granite plaque will start at $400 and a basic headstone for pick up will start at approx. $1550

How long does it take?

A plaque can be done in 3-4 weeks, while a headstone from our stock range can be completed in 4-6 weeks. If the design you select is not in stock, we order this and it can take 2-3 months to arrive. All inscriptions, photos and other design is done onsite after the stone arrives cut to shape.

Do you install outside Levin?

Yes. We install across the lower North Island and supply nationwide.

Drawings & Images

Adding small drawings or images (also called artwork or "tracery") onto memorials is always popular. Artwork can personalise a memorial and compliment the overall design.

This can range from a small scroll, border, cross or rose to large and detailed illustrations.

Traceries can also be coloured or kept the same colour as the inscription.We can design this for you, or we can use artwork you provide us.

Among some of the traceries we do are:

Book Design
Cross Designs
Angels
Flowers
Maori and Pacifica Traditional Design
Flags
