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.

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.
