Custom Monuments and Graves in Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast

Wide Bay Memorials designs and produces full monuments for families across Hervey Bay, Maryborough and the wider Fraser Coast region. Located in River Heads, we bring over 50 years of experience in monumental masonry to every custom-made monument. Our monuments are created to serve as an elegant and respectful final resting place and a lasting tribute for individuals and families.

Full monuments, also known as graves, provide a complete memorial solution that defines the entire gravesite. They offer greater scope for customisation, allowing families to honour their loved ones with a meaningful and enduring tribute. Every monument is crafted with care, using quality materials designed to withstand the elements.

From initial design through to installation, we guide you through the process with compassion and professionalism. All monuments are made to Australian Standards and cemetery requirements.

Every monument is custom-made to reflect the life and legacy of your loved one. Families can choose from classic profiles and shapes or work with us to develop a fully custom design. Engraving is completed to your specifications, including names, dates, decorations and personal messages. 

We take care to ensure all engraving is clear, balanced and enduring. Our team provides guidance on layout and design to achieve a respectful and meaningful result.

Wide Bay Memorials offers monuments in a range of sizes to suit different family needs and burial arrangements. Single monuments are ideal for individual graves and provide a refined and dignified appearance. Double monuments allow for shared memorials and are commonly chosen for couples.

Family memorials offer a larger, long-term solution designed to accommodate multiple interments over time. We work closely with families to ensure the size and layout meet both personal preferences and cemetery guidelines.

Quality Materials for Long-Lasting Memorials

We use high-quality granite and stone to ensure every monument remains strong, secure and visually appealing and is an enduring tribute for decades to come. Granite is available in a wide range of styles and colours, offering durability and a refined finish. Natural stone options are also available for families seeking a traditional appearance.

All materials are carefully selected for their strength, resistance to weathering and suitability for outdoor environments. Our experienced craftsmanship ensures a polished and professional result.

Memorial Plaques in Bronze and Aluminium

Plaques can be added to monuments to include additional inscriptions or design features. We offer plaques in both bronze and aluminium, allowing families to choose the material that best suits their design and budget. Each plaque can feature custom wording, borders and imagery.

Plaques provide flexibility for adding future inscriptions or commemorating multiple family members within one memorial.

Add-on Features to Personalise Your Monument

Monuments can be enhanced with a range of add-on features to create a truly unique tribute. Popular options include glass or bronze vases, as well as integrated vases built into the monument base. Statues and crosses can be added to reflect personal beliefs or traditions.

Images or photographs can also be etched directly into the stone, creating a deeply personal and lasting memorial feature. These details help tell a story and preserve cherished memories.
