Memorials to honor your loved ones

Designing a personalised headstone for a departed loved one is the perfect way to keep their memory alive in your heart.

Desiree and Pat of North Memorials in Henderson have assisted many grieving families with this process and couldn’t emphasise more the importance of getting it right first time.

Having known one another for a long time, it seemed it was fate when the opportunity arose for the pair to combine their skills and industry knowledge and take on the ownership of North Memorials’ Henderson Branch earlier this year.

In the time they have served at the Great North Road store, they have been pleased to see the area’s transformation into a safe and family friendly community thanks to the efforts of its residents and local authorities. Here, they are proud to say they offer a highly personalised service born out of their passion for the industry, and eagerness to help those going through the loss of a loved one.

The store’s impressive range of quality granite headstones are available in a range of popular shapes including the saddle, heart, teardrop and book, and can be custom made and shaped to very specific requirements. One of its exclusive offerings is the glass memorials, which can be attached to the outside of a memorial or set flush into granite. With up to 10 photos and an unlimited number of words permitted, these personalised pieces are the perfect way to tell the story of your loved one’s life.

‘‘We feel with our knowledge and passion that we can truly offer a unique service to our locals families. We really do go out of our way to make the process as positive and painless for our customers,’’ they say.

North Memorials offer a range of payment options, including an interest free layby scheme. It also ships memorials to the Pacific Islands and can arrange collection, installation or delivery to out of town Urupa’s and Cemeteries.
