NOVA.MEMORIAL
The Finest Ethically Sourced Headstones
In direct temple headstone price comparison with several prominent headstone retailers in Auckland we are often $1000’s cheaper for the exact same headstone design, our quality is better and we also offer Life-Legacy technology free in our Temple packages so you can tell their full story.
As a Maori Pasifika-owned and operated social enterprise we take it personally our responsibility to protect Aiga, Whanau from being treated as the “Cash-Cows” of traditional headstone retailers who inflate pricing on Maori and Pasifika-based headstones!
Imported Headstones and uniformity as far as the eye can see within New Zealand Cemetery’s. Finally with LifeStone the option to do different, to chose local is here.
Sadly for the past 40 years less than 1 in 90 headstones placed in our Cemeteries and Urupa have been of our own land.
More than 97% of headstones and memorials are made of imported granite and marble mostly from India and China, each one with an enormous carbon footprint imposing a huge environmental cost on our planet. We are literally killing our planet to honour our departed loved ones, we believe it is time for options, it is time for change and to start changing our norm as New Zealanders, as children of the Pacific.
Many people in our communities concerned with our planet and its future have asked for an option other than foreign granite and marble that has become our norm. After many years in development we have crafted the solution for you.
We can even personalise the stone composition itself to represent the land that your loved one belonged to. For example if your loved one is from the Pacific Islands we can use sands from their beaches or stone and earth from their home-land to ensure that wherever they are laid to rest, home is always with them.
Above are just a few examples of Memorials designed for customers. Contact us today to discuss your vision.
LifeStone now partnering with Nova.Memorial to bring the best designs and options from around the world to you!
We acknowledge that using Native and Domestic stone and resources is still a new thing and for some of our families who are not yet ready to make that change, we have been asked to oversee other options. We also acknowledge and respect our ethical partners who go the extra mile to ensure no Children are harmed or present in quarries, and that slave-like conditions in overseas quarries are not supported or purchased from in the extraction and manufacturing of their granite memorials. While we do not import any stone here at LifeStone, through our talented, hand-selected Headstone Mason partners, for families who are not ready to join the movement to Kiwi-made, we still offer the opportunity to experience the authentic LifeStone way and access ethically sourced Granite Headstones from the best in the business.
