Headstone prices in Australia can range quite a bit. For a simple design, you’re usually looking at around $1,500 to $3,000. If you want something larger or more detailed — like a custom shape, photo engraving, or a premium material, it can go up to $10,000 or more. Don’t forget to factor in extra costs for things like installation, cemetery fees, or permits.
Most people wait about six to twelve months before placing a headstone. This gives the ground enough time to settle, especially after a full burial. Some cemeteries have their own rules, so it’s a good idea to check first. If it’s a cremation plot, you usually don’t need to wait as long.

The most popular choice in Australia is a classic upright granite headstone. Granite is strong, easy to maintain, and looks great for years. It also comes in a few colours, like black, grey, or even red, so families can choose something that feels personal.
Most headstones include:
Some families also include a quote, a religious verse, or even a small photo or symbol that meant something special.

These short messages are simple but meaningful and they reflect love, loss, and remembrance in just a few words.
If a headstone is for a couple or a family, each name is usually listed with their own birth and death dates. Names are placed either side by side or one underneath the other. Families often include a shared message like Together Forever or Loved and Remembered Always. It’s also smart to leave space if more names may be added in the future.
