Geelong-made single monuments
Single monuments are designed to provide a lasting marker for your loved one’s grave site. Single monuments come in a wide range of shapes and styles, and religious crosses and iconography are popular with this type of stone. Contemporary designs are also available, however. No matter which design you choose, it can be engraved with a personal message along with your loved one’s name and relevant dates.
Single monuments can be supplied in either granite or marble. Granite is more durable than marble which ensures your memorial will stand the test of time. However, marble can be polished to create a softer look, which some people feel is more appropriate for a memorial.
Double monuments made in-house in Geelong
Double monuments are designed to mark two burial plots next to each other. They are typically used to mark the graves of husband and wife but can be used to connect any two family members. Our skilled team of craftsmen can help you design and create a unique monument using granite slabs, with engravings, etchings and inscriptions all done by hand to create a truly unique and beautiful monument.
Double monuments can be carved from a single piece of granite, or two individual monuments can be created and mounted on a single base. There really is no restriction on the type of design you can create. We can show you previous memorials we have created to help you design a truly stunning and respectful memorial.
Triple monuments
If you require a triple monument to commemorate the life of multiple family members, please contact us for more information. Triple monuments are possible but require careful planning and consideration to get an effective result.
Once you have settled on a design, the Headstone Company will organise the necessary cemetery trust permits and arrange for the stone to be installed. Because this type of memorial is heavier than other memorials, we mount the stone on solid foundations which ensures stability and protects against shrinkage.
As the leading supplier of graves monuments and headstones in Geelong, Victoria, The Headstone Company have the skills and the expertise to create a beautiful and bespoke monument for your loved one. Get in touch with us today and we’ll help you create a monument that they would be proud of.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a headstone and a cemetery monument?
A headstone is typically a traditional grave marker, while a cemetery monument can be larger and more elaborate in its design. Grave monuments may incorporate additional stonework, inscriptions, religious or cultural elements and other personalised features. A monumental mason can help determine which type of memorial is appropriate for the gravesite, cemetery requirements and the family’s wishes.
Can a monument be designed for two people or a family grave?
Yes. Double monuments can be created to commemorate two people within a shared memorial, and larger custom monuments can also be designed for family graves. The design can incorporate individual names, dates, inscriptions and other personalised details while maintaining a consistent appearance across the monument.
Can cemetery monuments reflect cultural or religious traditions?
Yes. Cemetery monuments can be designed to reflect cultural, religious and family traditions. The Headstone Company creates personalised monuments for families across Victoria, including memorials for Greek, Jewish and Muslim communities. A monument can incorporate appropriate stonework, inscriptions, symbols and design elements while also meeting the requirements of the cemetery where it will be installed.
