We will always do our best to execute your vision and are open to any suggestions around design. We aim to create a meaningful tribute for every person who comes to us
Get in touch with our team to discuss your ideas, or look at a few of our services listed below to see what may be possible.
When choosing a memorial plaque or recumbent monument, add a personal touch with photographs, artwork or sculptural features.
For those who are looking for something unique, our temple headstones are a great option.
Allow space for further inscriptions or artistic additions when you select a double-width monument
Plan ahead for the future with our unique double-width headstones, select a fitting tribute and create a lasting memorial.
Contact us today to discuss the ideal design for your memorial headstone, plaque or other monument.
Sanctuary Memorials prioritise respect and compassion, and we are here to support you however we can.
First, we listen. Then, we guide you as you decide on the design that will best capture the spirit of your dear friend or family member.
Your design can include artwork, photographs and personalised inscriptions, and you can leave space for future additions to your monument. Our graphic artist will then create an image to make certain that we are headed in the right direction – this rendering will be in 3D if necessary.
Once you are 100% happy with the design, we move forward. The next stage takes around 6-8 weeks as our stonemasons work to create your monument.
When your headstone or memorial plaque is completed, your proofed artwork, inscriptions and photographic features will be added, and the monument will be shipped out to our local installation expert.
At Sanctuary Memorials, our Bay of Plenty team guides you through the often emotional process of creating a tribute to honour your loved one who has passed.
We custom design and create memorial headstones, memorial plaques and a range of other options, and we can help you capture the personality of your loved one with an elegant tribute, personal photographs and meaningful artwork.
From the first discussion through to installation and follow-up service, we support you with compassion and patience, ensuring you feel cared for every step of the way.
You can visit us at one of our Auckland locations, or we can meet online or over the telephone – whichever suits you best.
Your Sanctuary Memorial installer will then ensure that settling your monument in place for unveiling runs smoothly. This includes constructing and installing the footing if you want to utilise this service.
We offer follow-up repairs and maintenance, and we can work with you to add further names to your memorial headstone, plaques, or other tributes as required.
Our team always strive to work within the boundaries of traditions or cultural requirements. We communicate with caretakers, councils and family members to ensure all regulations are followed.
Adding a further inscription to a monument will be done on-site wherever possible. While this is not always the case, every effort is made to ensure your loved one’s headstone is not removed from the Urupā or Cemetery.
