Honouring Legacies with Innovation: Why LifeStone Headstones Are the Future of Memorials
When it comes to commemorating a loved one, families deserve more than just a headstone—they deserve a legacy. At LifeStone Headstones, we’re redefining what it means to memorialise a life, blending cutting-edge technology, sustainable craftsmanship, and deep cultural respect to create memorials that truly honour the people we love.
A Legacy Beyond Stone: Life-Legacy Technology
Unlike traditional memorials that rely on outdated QR codes or clunky digital add-ons, LifeStone’s Life-Legacy technology offers a seamless, elegant way to preserve and share memories. Without the need for unsightly QR codes, families can embed living stories, photos, and tributes directly into the memorial experience—ensuring that a loved one’s legacy lives on in a way that’s both dignified and timeless.
Enviromax™ Full Colour Memorial Plaques: Beauty Within Reach
LifeStone’s Enviromax™ full colour memorial plaques are a game-changer in the industry. These vibrant, high-resolution plaques bring colour and life to memorials—at a fraction of the cost. In many cases, Enviromax plaques are up to 75% more affordable than comparable options, while still offering a non-fade warranty that rivals the most premium products on the market. This means families can access affordable, lasting beauty without compromise.
Crafted from Aotearoa’s Whenua: Restoring Mauri, Reducing Waste
Every LifeStone memorial is crafted using 100% locally sourced Whenua, including recycled seashells from New Zealand’s aquaculture industries. This innovative approach not only reduces environmental waste but actively contributes to restoring the Mauri (life force) of our foreshore ecosystems. It’s a commitment to sustainability that honours both the land and the people who walk it.
Supporting the Journey of Grief: Pastoral Care & Community Investment
At LifeStone, we understand that grief doesn’t end at the unveiling. That’s why we invest in pastoral care programmes designed to support whānau through every step of their mourning journey. Beyond that, a portion of our profits is reinvested into grassroots community organisations—those who naturally support our families when times are toughest. Because for us, it’s not just about headstones—it’s about hearts and healing.
Award-Winning Innovation in Memorial Design
LifeStone Headstones has been recognised for its award-winning commitment to innovation, setting new standards in memorial design across Aotearoa. From our eco-conscious materials to our digital storytelling platforms, we’re proud to lead the way in creating memorials that are as unique and enduring as the lives they represent.
