LAWN MONUMENTS
Lawn monuments, sometimes known as headstone monuments, are set at the grave’s head. Headstone marble monuments are one of the most classic monuments, and they may can be found in nearly all Australian cemeteries.
COME TO OLYMPIA MARBLE FOR RELETTERING & RENOVATION OF LAWN MONUMENTS
Lawn grave monuments are often seen as an item to mark a gravesite. However, over time the letters of the inscription on these monuments may become difficult to read. The letters might fade or be worn off by the weather, making it difficult for visitors to find their loved ones’ names. That’s why many people choose to renovate and letter them when necessary.

Granite comes in a variety of colours and patterns and it is incredibly durable when compared to other stones. Granite can be pricey when it comes to memorial headstones due to its ease of care and longer durability. Although the upfront cost is more, granite is less expensive in the long run because it will not:

How to Choose A Design?
There is a distinct blend of traditions and culture in any given location. Each has its personality, traditions, fashions, and symbols. All of them must be known to the monumental mason. Please find a guide on deciding on a headstone design and where to conduct your research:
Websites
You can browse websites that offer such services and review their designs available. Choose a design that stands out and appeals to you, and don’t forget to enquire about memorial headstone rates.
Factory
If you have a mason, enquire to see if he can recommend a factory where you can view the designs in person. In visiting a factory location, you will receive expert advice to assist you in selecting the best headstones.
Cemetery
Your mason may also assist you in looking at the designs in the cemetery to get an idea of how they will appear over time.
These are certain things you must keep in mind while picking the headstones. It is possible to purchase a durable headstone and in your desired style preference. In case of any doubts, always consult your mason or an expert.
UNIQUE DESIGNS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES
The cost of a cemetery headstone is substantially less than the expense of a full monument. In Sydney and the surrounding areas, we provide affordable headstones paired with creative gravestone designs. The materials used to construct our headstone are of the finest quality.
As a beautiful tombstone or headstone is a lasting way to honour your loved ones, it should be carefully chosen. Tombstone costs, quality, style, designs, inscriptions, and more should all be considering factors in the investment. At Olympia Marble, we will walk you through selecting the ideal tombstone, ensuring your designs and desires are met.
DESIGN
People are often on the lookout for unique gravestone designs. There are three different types of tombstones and headstones:
Upright Headstones
Flat Headstones
Kerbed Headstones
UPRIGHT HEADSTONES
Upright headstones are the most traditional variety. They are typically supported by a concrete foundation and stand approximately 45 inches tall on average. Flat headstones are a fantastic alternative if you want some originality. They are available in a variety of patterns, shapes, and sizes. Flat headstones can be laid flat or at an angle. Kerbed headstones are full-length designs that lie flat across the ground. Kerbed is frequently used in conjunction with upright headstones.
The headstone choice is often influenced by personal desire and pricing. Some cemeteries impose specific limitations on headstones that can be placed on graves. We recommend checking with the cemetery of choice that your piece satisfies their criteria for lawn monuments.
Granite is the most versatile and flexible material. It has a long lifespan and comes in many colours and finishes. Marble is also available in various finishes, but it is weak and does not endure over time which is why some cemeteries do not allow marble tombstones. Although bronze is expensive and long-lasting, it is not permitted in all cemeteries. The most popular option is traditional limestone.

QUALITY POLISHING
A polished tombstone has a gleaming and flawless appearance but requires a lot of upkeep. It is worth considering that if you’re intending on displaying this type of tombstone in an older cemetery, it might look out of place. If you just want to highlight a certain part of the headstone or tombstone, such as the engraving, only that part is polished, the rest is finished in a different way. Although the honed surface appears to be smooth, it is not as shiny as the polished finish.
A layer of polished stone is removed from the headstone to achieve that effect. The headstone’s pitched finish gives it an aged appearance, making it suitable for older and more traditional churchyards.
In most cases, the deceased leave instructions about what they want to be engraved on their gravestones. If this isn’t the case, you’ll need to choose something personal that captures something important about the departed and their life. People frequently use religious texts or poetry that has brought them comfort through their grief.
Consider carefully what type of gravestone you want; as the inscription is an intrinsic element of the gravestone, don’t rush this decision.
