Headstones and plaques

Geoffrey T Sowman Monumental are the only registered monumental masons in Marlborough. We can create and custom-make a headstone or plaque to your order. Click the link to see our wide range of sample styles.

Individual cemeteries and crematoriums may limit the size of the memorial that you are able to place and we will be able to guide you through this process and advise and assist you with the options.

We create and custom-make a very wide range of headstones and plaques. Whether you want something traditional and classic or contemporary and unique, Sowman Monumental can help with all aspects of choosing a special memorial for your loved one.

Local councils across New Zealand all have by-laws limiting the size of memorials that can be placed in their region's cemeteries and crematoriums. We'll take you through the available options and advise on what's most suitable.
