The Sanctuary Memorial’s Hamilton team will install your monument in place, which will be done to your specifications and accommodate the timeline for your unveiling.
We can also add further names to your memorial headstone or other monument at a later date – just get back in touch with our local installer.
We are open to any suggestions around design. We aim to create a meaningful tribute for every person who comes to us, and we will always do our best to execute your vision.
Get in touch with the friendly and compassionate team at Sanctuary Memorials to chat through your ideas, or take a look at a few of our service options listed below. These will help you see what might be possible in terms of design.
Your design can include a unique form, personal inscriptions, artwork, and photographs, and we will take you through all your options to help you decide on the perfect design.
The Sanctuary Memorial graphic artist will then draw up an image to ensure that we have properly captured your vision.
Once you are 100% satisfied, we move forward. The next stage, where our experienced stonemasons work from the plan to create your monument, takes about 6-8 weeks.
After the monument has been created, your artwork, inscriptions and any other features you have decided on will be added. Then, the monument will be sent forward to our local installation expert.
EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful job done with the headstone and installation for our loved ones. Appreciated the ease of communication throughout the process. Great value for money. Thanks team!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We designed a bespoke headstone initially for our Father but also to be shared at a later stage for our Mother. We had a very specific design in mind, provided all the details in terms of drawings and initially stone types and effects required. We spent a bit of time internally with our Whanau deciding on the wording but got there in the end. Sanctuary Memorials were excellent from the outset. Cindy was our point of contact and communicated without fault through the entire process. They also pointed out a few ideas of their own which added to the overall beauty of the Stone. Our Whanu were over the moon with the result and my Father in particular would be so proud of what we had achieved for him. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sanctuary Memorials for your loved one's, based on our experience and the final result.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It was an absolute pleasure dealing with Cindy Thomas at Sanctuary Memorials,, She made the whole process easy, Nothing was to much trouble from having a bird put on the stone & some Mandarin letters as well. Can’t recommend both Cindy & Sanctuary enough. Kerry TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give more than 5 Stars I would ! I cannot recommend more highly enough to use the services of Sanctuary Memorials, when choosing your Headstone to honour your loved ones Memorial. From the moment I walked into the East Tamaki Showroom without an appointment and met with Samantha Fester who happened to be sitting at the desk, she listened to me, and guided me through the start of the process in creating a unique and beautiful memorial stone for my parents unveiling, as well as later meeting with my sister and assisting both of us in creating the most stunning and beautifully created monument for our parents. We have just had the unveiling last week, and it was everything we wanted and more, our Family were all very happy with it, and everyone commented on the craftsmanship and beauty of it, I know my parents would have loved it.

From the very beginning, their team was incredibly supportive and attentive. They worked closely with us to design a headstone that truly brought our vision to life. Their empathy and understanding throughout the process were remarkable, making a difficult task much easier to navigate. I can't recommend them enough.
