Frequently Asked Questions

Is there space for a photo?

Most of our memorials will be able to fit a photo plaque but this very much depends on two things: 1) the size of memorial you have chosen and 2) the quantity of inscription text you wish to add. We will be able to advise on this before you place your order and if necessary show you a mock-up to confirm the fit. As a guide, the standard photo plaque is an 10cm x 8cm oval.

Can I pay by instalments?

Our standard terms for payment are as follows:

First Installment
20% Deposit when memorial ordered as above.

Second Installment
75% of balance plus burial ground fee payable when permit received from cemetery or church authority. Obtaining permit takes on average 2-3 weeks from first installment.

Final Installment
Final balance payable on completion (ie. when memorial is in place, approximately 16 weeks after receipt of second installment).

 

We also offer a select few memorial designs with a payment plan in place (conditions apply)
