Visiting our Auckland showrooms is a great way to secure the headstone or memorial plaque that best honours your loved one. We can meet with you in East Tamaki or Otahuhu, or you can chat with us on the phone or online – whatever works best for you.
The Sanctuary Memorials team will guide and support you throughout each step to design and create a lasting tribute that captures the essence of the person you want to honour.
Our showroom is a peaceful space to connect with this process, and we maintain respect for your cultural traditions and your unique requirements.
Navigating the process of choosing your design may involve a few family members. You may have specific instructions from the deceased or even start with no real idea of what you need.
Our Auckland team is able to assist you no matter what circumstances arise. We have lots of experience and bring kindness and compassion to the process for everyone who engages our services.
First, we will sit with you and discuss your ideas, and then our artist will complete a drawing. We will pass the drawing on to our expert stonemasons when you feel we have properly understood your vision. The stonemason will then start creating your customised headstone – you can expect this to take around 6-8 weeks.
While the stonemason works, the written portions of the work will be proofed so that they can be added as soon as your monument is ready. We will also proof any artistic or photographic elements that you have chosen for your headstone or memorial plaque.
After you have viewed the finished work and approved each element, our team will move forward to installation to align with your unveiling date. You can get in touch with us at any time for any further service you require.
In Auckland and across the country, we work with caretakers, families, and councils to ensure that we always observe cultural traditions, boundaries, and regulations during the initial installation process and as we add further inscriptions to your monument.
Whenever possible, we will add inscriptions to your headstone or plaque on-site. We understand it is preferable that the monument be left in the Urupā or Cemetery and also recognise that it is not always possible to make this work; however, we are here to help in any way we can.
Commemorate with a vibrant headstone that speaks to the beauty and colour your loved one brought to the lives of those around them. Look at a few of our headstone offerings below, or contact us now to book an initial meeting on-site or via phone or the Internet.
