We are licensed by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC Lic # 1024610) to undertake all stonemasonry and monumental masonry tasks.

A monumental mason or memorial mason is a specialist stonemason who crafts headstones, monuments, and memorials from stone.

The monumental mason is responsible for shaping the stone, polishing, engraving with the inscription, adding images or plaques, and placement of the memorial on site, usually in a cemetery.

A stonemason is a tradesperson who builds or dresses stone.

The stone masonry craft has been around for centuries and has been responsible for everything from buildings for shelter, memorial statues, prehistoric monuments like Stonehenge, historic cobblestone roads, and amazing structures the Egyptian pyramids.

Most stonemasons specialise in one area of stone services - QHM stonemasons offer specialist memorial (monumental masons), construction and conservation stone masonry.

Headstone design and features are practically endless. Each memorial can be customised to express the personality of your loved one or the family. 

Features such as these can be added to the headstone:

• a range of stone colours and designs
• different finishes to the stone - eg polished, sandblasted, honed etc
• a huge selection of styles including rectangle, sloped desk, double, angel, cross, book, koru, and more
• inscription style options - cut in, raised lettering, painted, gold, leaded in
• choice of font styles
• ceramic pictures
• bronze plaques or stone plaques
• stone urn vases
• etched images

Traditionally a gravestone referred to the whole memorial, being the base over the gravesite and the stone marker at the top. 

A headstone references the stone at the head of a grave, often upright, slant stone, or flat to the ground.

Many of our memorials, gravestones and headstones are crafted using granite as it is extremely hard wearing, relatively non-porous - withstands the years of weathering well, offers a range of colours and patterns. 

We also use natural marble and sandstone, both of which produce beautiful memorials.
