Plaques, Headstones, & Memorials
Symbolising your loved one’s legacy
A headstone or plaque memorial is a symbol of your loved one’s legacy – a place you can visit and pay your respects as you remember them. We offer different options so you can choose how your loved one is remembered.
Different areas at Purewa can have different kinds of markers. We have a variety of options from simple, elegant plaques to grander headstones. You can speak to us about your options and choose something suitable for your loved one.
Ash headstones and plaques
If you have an ash interment plot at Purewa, we can help you order a plaque or headstone to go on the plot, depending on the area. You may also opt to purchase an ash plot and furnish it with a plaque without interment of ashes. Please contact us to find out more or start the process.
Headstones
In some of our areas, you may choose to supply your own from an approved stonemason who is authorised to install monuments in our grounds.
The most frequent to our cemetery in these older areas are the following:
Jacobsens P: 09 634 3280. W: https://jacobsenheadstones.co.nz/
Parkinson & Bouskill P: 09 636 3300. W: https://parkinsonbouskill.co.nz/
Thompson Memorials P: 09 818 5261. W: https://www.thompsonmemorials.co.nz/
They will work with you to design to your needs, and submit the installation application documents including permit fee of $460 incl GST. Typically a maximum width is 1.2m for any headstone on a single plot.

There is also a memorial-only plaque option on Purewa’s Memorial Wall, located near the ash scattering lawn.
