Headstones Perth, Crafted At Our Bibra Lake Workshop
Granite headstones, gravestones, full monuments and plaques for every Perth cemetery, designed by you online or with our team, made locally and installed by us. Installed headstone packages from $5,911.
Forever Shining makes granite headstones, gravestones and full monuments at our Bibra Lake workshop in Perth. Because we manufacture locally you buy at factory-direct prices, every memorial is backed by a lifetime guarantee, and the people who design your headstone are the same people who cut, laser and install it. Choose laser etched black granite for photographs and detailed artwork, or traditional engraved inscriptions in granite, marble or sandstone. Our designers prepare drawings to suit the regulations of every Perth cemetery, including Karrakatta, Fremantle and Pinnaroo Valley, and we lodge the paperwork and install for you.

The MCB monumental work application fee of $381 is paid to the cemetery and is included in the totals below.

Good to know
- Accessories such as metal crosses and statues, coloured images and additional granite plaques are available at an additional cost
- Packages are priced for sections with an existing concrete lawn beam. For cemetery areas or sections without a concrete lawn, an Australian Standard footing is required and will incur an additional cost
- The site must have clear access. If access is restricted, additional heavy machinery hire may be required and will incur an extra charge
- Surname, verse or MCB grave number on the base adds $200. Extra laser images are $100 each
- Orders take around 12 to 18 weeks from artwork approval. A 50% deposit starts your order and a 12 month payment plan is available
- Prices are current for the 2025 to 2026 financial year
How the monument is built and installed
These drawings show how we secure every headstone and base. The base sits on a concrete overlapping footing with 150 mm piers driven as deep as the ground allows, and the headstone is pinned to the base with 10 mm stainless steel dowel fixings. Full monuments with kerbs, ledger panel and socket follow the same principle.
Design your headstone online and choose the MCB package size that suits, or book a free weekend home visit and we will bring samples and drawings to you.
Perth Cemeteries We Work With
We install at all six Metropolitan Cemeteries Board cemeteries and at council and private cemeteries across the metro area, and we supply to regional WA. Each cemetery, and often each section, has its own rules on size, material and where the plot number must appear; we check them before you order and design to suit.
Karrakatta Cemetery
Perth’s oldest and largest cemetery, with a grave renewal program that brings many families back to replace or restore memorials.
Fremantle Cemetery
Ten minutes from our workshop. Older sections require a 1050 x 150 x 300 mm base; we visit sloping sites before quoting.
Pinnaroo Valley Memorial Park
Natural bush setting in Padbury with strict plaque sizes (380 x 280 and 560 x 305 mm). We are a Pinnaroo certified mason.
Rockingham, Midland, Guildford And Regional WA
The other MCB cemeteries plus council cemeteries from Bunbury to Broome. See our WA cemeteries guide for the rules.

What Perth Families Say
Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 72 Google reviews. A few recent ones, in the reviewers’ own words; read them all on our testimonials page.
“We entrusted Forever Shining with creating a memorial plaque for my brother’s headstone and, more recently, a plaque for a memorial seat. Both pieces exceeded our expectations. The customer service was exceptional throughout, with nothing ever being too much trouble. Thank you for your professionalism and for creating such beautiful, lasting tributes. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Forever Shining to others.”
