What a memorial costs

One price per memorial, GST included, with the engraving in it. No per-letter fees. Ever.

Designing costs nothing. The preview, the link you send your family and the download are all free, and they stay free... the design on your screen is the proof, so there is no proof to pay for.

Everything above is in the one price. The lettering line goes nowhere because engraving is included.

The four memorials at the same scale, beside somebody standing. Drawn from the sizes we actually build.

What is not in the price

The council’s permit: At cost, whatever the council charges. It differs by cemetery and some charge nothing at all, so the figure for the one you choose is shown while you design.
Silver leaf and gold leaf: Real leaf laid into the cut letters by hand. The lettering itself is free... leaf is the one thing priced per letter, always on its own line with the count shown.
