Our Process for Creating Headstones in Wellington, NZ
Our comprehensive process begins with a compassionate consultation, during which we discover your vision for this important memorial. We are here to listen to your specific requests and any lingering concerns you may have to ensure truly meaningful tributes through headstones in Wellington, NZ.
We’ll collaborate to select the design, details, and inscriptions you feel best suit the departed’s treasured memory. After this, our professional artists will create a customised image that embodies your loved one.
Once you have reviewed the design, our experienced stonemasons will begin constructing the headstone with utmost care and precision. This process takes 6 – 8 weeks.
While you await the finished headstone, we’ll complete the visual elements. We’ll promptly add these to the final creation, then ship your headstones to Wellington, arriving at your desired location.
We offer the largest range of Granite Headstones in the region and our team has more than 35 years of experience in the industry.
