Olympia Marble is honoured to be one of the select few monumental stonemasons privileged to work within Rookwood General Cemetery. For the past thirty years, we’ve created beautiful, lasting and compliant gravestones and lawn monuments to help grieving families honour legacies and preserve memories at Rookwood.
As you lay your loved one to rest in the sacred grounds of Rookwood Cemetery, allow Olympia Marble’s staff to help you create an exceptional monument.
Rookwood Cemetery is an enduring symbol of Sydney’s rich, expansive history. Established in 1867-8, this sacred institution offers interment grounds, memorial spaces, and serene gardens dedicated to over 80 multicultural and religious communities within Sydney.
Administered by cemetery custodians of the Rookwood Necropolis Land Trust, the cemetery holds a special place in the hearts of Sydney’s residents. It is a sanctuary where over a million loved ones have been laid to rest amidst sprawling landscaped grounds, wild tree groves, sculpture and monument-rich discovery trails.
Here, between the diverse aged and modern-styled graves, Olympia Marble honours tradition while embracing innovation by offering cemetery-compliant modest and elegant lawn memorials, such as single, double and heritage gravestones and monuments, along with cultural and religious monuments and accessories.
Every cemetery in and around Sydney serving diverse communities will have separate memorial sections to cater to different religions and cultural burial needs. They will also regulate memorial design to conserve the cemetery’s aesthetics. Gravestone regulations include restrictions on height, weight, material and finish. Accessory and inscription types also require approval from the cemetery. Family members (grantees) are required to write to the cemetery for all matters pertaining to monument construction, installation and maintenance. The monument approval process can be tedious.
With over 30 years of experience serving Sydney’s cemeteries, Olympia Marble’s experienced staff is familiar with the rules and regulations of every cemetery. As a preferred monumental stonemason for Rookwood Cemetery, you can be assured that our knowledgeable staff can help you navigate Rookwood Cemetery’s regulations with ease, ensuring your loved one’s gravestone is compliant.
Cemetery monuments, such as gravestones, statues, bench memorials, and mausoleums, hold stories of love and remembrance. While they’re built to last, cemetery monuments require maintenance and regular upkeep to ensure they continue to serve as timeless tributes to loved ones.
Olympia Marble’s skilled stonemasons and artisans have helped maintain, restore, and repair many memorials, including gravestones, at Rookwood and other cemeteries around Sydney. Our services include gravestones and headstone re-lettering, cleaning and polishing, gold regilding, and base repair. We can also help preserve your monument’s aesthetic appeal by restoring ornamental features such as sculptures, carvings, and other decorative and religious elements placed on gravestones.
Entrust us with the responsibility of ensuring your monument gets the love and attention it deserves so that it honours your loved one’s legacy for generations.
