Stainless Steel Headstones · Coloured Glass Inlay · Delivered Australia Wide
Stainless Steel Light Reflective Headstones
Marine grade stainless steel with your inscription cut through the face and backed by coloured glass that catches and reflects the light. A modern headstone that will not crack, fade or weather, designed to stay beautiful for lifetimes.
A light reflective headstone is built, not carved. Your inscription, motifs and borders are cut right through a face of marine grade stainless steel. Behind the cut-outs sits glass in the colour you choose, backed by a reflective medium, so the lettering glows and shifts as daylight moves across the grave. A full stainless steel backing plate seals the assembly, making the headstone extraordinarily strong and vandal resistant. It will not crack or disintegrate with ground movement, it never needs repainting, and the inscription stays readable for generations. Each one is individually designed around your words, motifs and, if you wish, a colour photo.
Marine Grade Steel
Made for salt air, rain and sun. No rust, no cracking with ground movement, virtually no maintenance.
Glowing Coloured Glass
Your choice of glass colour sits behind the lettering, with a reflective backing that makes the design glow in daylight.
Vandal Resistant
The glass is sealed between the steel face and a full stainless backing plate; there is nothing to chip or peel.
Individually Designed
Every headstone is designed around your inscription, motifs and photo, in a range of shapes and sizes.
How A Light Reflective Headstone Is Made
Our artists lay out your inscription and motifs, then the design is precision cut through the stainless steel face. The coloured glass and reflective backing are fitted behind the cut-outs, a ceramic photo is added if you have chosen one, and the full backing plate is fixed to seal the assembly. The finished headstone mounts to a black granite or stainless steel base, with or without flower vase holders.
Because the whole design is cut as one piece, you are not charged per letter: verses, long inscriptions and detailed motifs are simply part of the design. The result is a headstone that reads beautifully from across the cemetery and looks like nothing else in the row.
Top tip: script fonts and flowing motifs suit the cut through style beautifully; the designer previews exactly how your wording will look.

Cemetery Requirements
Cemeteries set their own limits on headstone sizes, bases and materials. Our stainless steel headstones meet Australian Standards, but check with your cemetery before you order, or send us the cemetery name and we will confirm the rules for you. In Perth we work to the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board requirements at Karrakatta, Fremantle, Pinnaroo Valley and the other MCB cemeteries; elsewhere we deliver Australia wide and work with your local installer. Trademarks, club crests and service emblems need written permission from the owner before we can reproduce them.
Light Reflective Headstone Questions
What is a light reflective stainless steel headstone?
It is a headstone made from marine grade stainless steel with your inscription and motifs cut right through the steel face. Behind the cut-outs sits coloured glass in the colour you choose, backed by a reflective medium that makes the lettering glow as daylight moves across it, and a full stainless steel backing plate seals the assembly.
How long will it last?
Longer than any stone. Stainless steel does not crack, flake or disintegrate with ground movement or age, the glass is sealed behind the face, and the full backing plate makes the whole headstone remarkably vandal resistant. The inscription stays readable for lifetimes with virtually no maintenance.
What colours can the glass be?
You choose the glass colour behind the inscription and motifs: blues, greens, reds, golds and more. The reflective backing enhances the colour, so the design shifts and glows as light changes through the day.
How much does a light reflective headstone cost?
Each headstone is quoted by its size and design. Build it in our online designer and press Check Price, or send us your wording and we will design and quote it at no charge. Because the design is cut and assembled as one piece, inscription length and motifs are part of the design rather than priced per letter.
Can I add a photo?
Yes. A ceramic or vitreous enamel photo can be fitted to the steel face, in colour, rated for outdoor use. Several of the memorials pictured on this page carry one.
Will my cemetery accept a stainless steel headstone?
Our headstones meet Australian Standards, but every cemetery sets its own rules on sizes, materials and bases, so check with the cemetery office before you order. Send us the cemetery name and we will confirm the requirements; in Perth we work to the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board rules and can install for you.
Prefer us to design it?
Send the wording, your photos and the cemetery name. We will design the headstone, price it and email you a proof at no charge.
