Why LifeStone

Financial & Environmental Cost (continued)

In New Zealand, over 96% of Headstones and memorials are made of foreign Granite and Marble. Each peace is extracted from mines in China, India and as far away as Norway. They are often then carved completely off shore and shipped to New Zealand.

Each Foreign Granite or Marble stone carries a huge carbon footprint, the headstone industry an astronomical one. LifeStone Memorials offer an alternative domestically crafted option. We dramatically lower each stones footprint and offer the industry a sustainable alternative.

It is not uncommon for a headstone to cost in excess of $10,000 and put families in debt that lasts for years. LifeStone will do all we can to ensure you find the right LifeStone Memorial for your needs.
