The most common headstone inscriptions include the person’s full name, birth and death dates, a short epitaph or meaningful quote, religious verses or symbols, and family relationship identifiers (e.g. ‘Beloved Father and Husband’). We also engrave poems, personal messages, and culturally significant phrases in other languages including Vietnamese, Chinese, and Arabic. Our team can guide you with inspiration and examples to help you choose wording that feels right.
Yes. Stone Construction Australia specialises in adding additional inscriptions to existing memorials — for example, when a second family member is interred in the same plot. Our headstone engravers will carefully match the existing font, style, and finish to ensure continuity. We also undertake re-lettering of worn or faded inscriptions to restore legibility and appearance.
We use several methods depending on the material: Sandblasting — ideal for granite, creates deep textured letters that last for generations. Laser engraving — highly precise, suitable for detailed artwork and photographs. Lead engraving — traditional, weather-resistant, especially popular for marble. Hand engraving — for personalised or artistic designs. Gilded (23-carat gold leaf) — for a premium striking finish. For longevity in Australian outdoor conditions, sandblasted granite inscriptions are generally the most durable.
Engraving alone typically takes 1–3 weeks depending on the complexity of the design and our current workload. If the inscription is being added as part of a new memorial, it is completed before installation. For additions to existing memorials, we schedule an on-site or workshop session and aim to complete the work efficiently. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the time of consultation.
Yes. We offer ceramic photo plaques and laser-etched portrait engravings that can be incorporated into headstones. Laser technology allows us to reproduce detailed photographic images directly onto stone or porcelain, creating a lasting visual tribute. This is a popular choice for families who want the memorial to capture the personality and appearance of their loved one.
