Honouring Lives with Art: LifeStone Headstones That Tell a Story

At LifeStone, we believe a headstone is more than a marker—it's a masterpiece of memory. In a world where families seek to honour their loved ones in deeply personal ways, we craft headstones that are true works of art, capturing the essence of a life lived and the love left behind.

Why Artistic Headstones Matter

In New Zealand, families are increasingly choosing memorials that reflect culture, personality, and legacy. A headstone should not only mark a resting place—it should tell a story, evoke emotion, and stand as a timeless tribute in a place of meaning.

The headstone pictured above, created for Tafilelea Finau Luke Gaga, features a powerful symbol—the shaka sign, a gesture of aloha and remembrance. Surrounded by vibrant floral tributes, it reflects a life full of spirit, connection, and love.

LifeStone’s Approach: Crafting Dreams in Stone

We work closely with families to design memorials that:

·         Celebrate individuality through custom engravings, symbols, and cultural motifs.

·         Incorporate artistry using premium materials and skilled craftsmanship.

·         Create lasting legacies that resonate across generations.

Whether it's a traditional design or a bold, contemporary tribute, every LifeStone memorial is made with heart, precision, and purpose.

Best Practice for Memorial Businesses in NZ

To lead in the headstone and tombstone industry, we follow global best practices:

·         Life-Legacy empowered memorials:  Utilising our specially developed technology (Not a QR Code), families can leave the full story of loved ones to inform future generations of who their ancestors were.

·         High-Quality Imagery: We showcase real-life examples of our work, like the one above, to inspire and reassure.

·         Client-Centered Design: We listen deeply, design collaboratively, and deliver with care.

A Legacy Set in Stone

At LifeStone, we don’t just make headstones—we bring to life the dreams of families, creating memorials that represent a family’s love forever. In every cemetery, our work stands as a beacon of remembrance, beauty, and peace.
