Frequently Asked Questions

What colours are available?

You can order our designs in many different materials, the most popular being Black or Grey Granite. Some Cemeteries and Graveyards have restrictions on which materials can be used, this is something we would clarify before you place an order. Please see our Materials & Finishes page for colour swatches and more details.

Is there a cheaper alternative to a headstone?

There are several more affordable alternatives to a traditional headstone. Memorial plaques, for example, are small engraved markers that can be placed on a grave or at a memorial site. These are typically less expensive than full headstones. A tree or plant memorial can also be a meaningful and cost-effective choice, with a living tribute that grows over time.

What is the difference between a headstone and a marker?

A marker is usually a wooden cross or stick with a name or grave number on it, which is placed at the site of a grave after burial. After about a year, when the ground has settled, a headstone or kerb set can be installed on the grave. These will be made from stone, are decorative and are a more permanent fixture to commemorate your loved one.
