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.
These days, there’s no real difference, both words mean the same thing: a marker placed at a grave. Headstone is the term most people in Australia use now. It usually stands upright at the head of the grave. Gravestone is just an older term that’s still used from time to time.
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.
Here are a few examples of popular phrases people use:
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.
While often used interchangeably today, "gravestone," "tombstone," and "headstone" historically had subtle distinctions. A gravestone is the most general term, referring to any stone marker over a grave, which could include large flat slabs. A tombstone traditionally referred to the stone lid of a coffin or a large slab marking and sometimes covering the entire grave. A headstone specifically designates the upright stone placed at the head of a grave, typically bearing the deceased's name and dates, and is the most common form of grave marker in modern cemeteries.
