Every life is unique and every memorial should reflect that individuality. We offer fully custom-designed headstones in Mackay, allowing families to create a tribute that feels personal, meaningful and appropriate. Our process begins with listening. We take the time to understand your preferences, cultural considerations and design ideas before preparing a tailored memorial concept.
Custom headstones can include:

All designs are reviewed and approved before production begins. This ensures accuracy, clarity and confidence in the final result. Cemeteries have specific guidelines relating to headstone size, materials and installation methods. These requirements help maintain safety and consistency across memorial grounds.
Our team is familiar with local cemetery requirements and can assist with approvals where needed. This support helps reduce stress and ensures the headstone complies with all relevant guidelines before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of headstones are available in Mackay?
Headstones available in Mackay include upright headstones, flat lawn plaques, slant or bevel markers and larger family headstones. The type you can choose will depend on the cemetery section, local regulations and your personal preferences. Upright headstones provide more space for inscriptions and design features, while lawn plaques are often required in lawn cemetery areas. A monumental mason can help explain which options are suitable and permitted, including size limits, material choices and design flexibility for each cemetery section, helping families select a memorial that aligns with both regulations and personal wishes.
Do I need approval before installing a headstone?
Yes. Approval is required from the burial rights holder and the relevant cemetery authority before a headstone can be installed. Each cemetery has guidelines covering headstone dimensions, materials and fixing methods. These rules are in place to maintain safety and consistency. An experienced monumental mason can assist with managing these approvals, preparing documentation and ensuring the installation meets all local requirements, reducing delays and helping families avoid unnecessary administrative stress.
How long after a burial can a headstone be installed?
Headstones are generally installed several months after a burial to allow the ground to settle properly. This helps prevent movement or instability once the memorial is in place. The timing can vary depending on cemetery regulations, soil conditions and the type of headstone selected. Your monumental mason can advise on appropriate timing and coordinate installation when conditions are suitable, ensuring the memorial is installed securely and remains stable long term.
Can headstones be personalised with custom inscriptions and designs?
Yes. Headstones can be personalised with custom inscriptions, dates, messages and decorative elements, provided they meet cemetery guidelines. Personalisation may include lettering styles, symbols or additional features such as vases or plaques. All wording and layouts are reviewed and approved before production begins to ensure accuracy, suitability and long-term readability of the memorial, giving families confidence the finished headstone reflects their intentions.
