What Families Say About Forever Shining
Every memorial we make is for someone’s mother, father, partner, child or best mate. Here is what the families we have worked with say, in their own words, from Google, Facebook and letters sent to us.
Reviews From Families Across Australia
“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.”

“Forever Shining were wonderful. Our cat passed away and we wanted a plaque/stone to remember her by. Forever Shining were very responsive and made sure we were happy with the design we submitted online and added a lot of nice touches to the image etched on the stone. They voluntarily funded a more expensive stone to get the job done within timeframes requested and turned things around in just a few days. Really nice compassionate people work here and they made a big difference at a difficult and sad time”

“I dont normally write reviews but I need to let others know that Forever Shining have exceeded expectations massively. Everything from using the online designer , communication , (I was contacted that the size of plaque i requested was out of stock and they graciously offered the next size up for free.)I couldnt be more happier when the final product was delivered, it was exactly as I designed it. Truly the reaction of myself, friends and family upon seeing it has just cemented how correct a decision it was to use Forever Shining. Thank you to the Forever Shining team. Kosmidis Family.”

“I highly recommend this company !!!! Plans were in place for me to inter my parents 1000k away. However, I was experiencing sheer frustration and total disappointment from a well known company here in Adelaide, not to mention totally running out of time! I went online and discovered Forever Shining. I was able to design my own plaque easily, and Marco and the staff worked magic. I took receipt of the plaque on the morning of the fourth day, after placing the order! Stunning job! Brilliant plaque! Outstanding service! As I stated previously, I can not recommend this company highly enough. Forever Shining will not disappoint!!!!”

“Grateful for the team at Forever shining for taking the time to explain the options, prices and pros and cons of the different types of headstones and color options that they sell. They did a great job with designing and finishing the headstone for us and were able to finalise the whole process less than 2 months after we first met!!. Thank you AJ and Surya and all the best to the rest of the team”

“Unfortunately I can’t get a picture of the plaque to attach so I hope Forever Shining can attach and show off their skills. After my closest best friend’s passing I searched everywhere for the perfect Plaque. Some plaques were just awful in real life …. The waiting list was months at most of them . I emailed Forever Shining and a young gentleman drew me up a proof immediately. I nearly fell off my chair plus cried cause it was beautiful. I went down to their shop and paid expecting to wait months for it to be installed but it was installed so quickly. The price and quality was fantastic. I did a lot of homework so don’t bother going anywhere else go to this company. Ps I got guitars and a picture of my friend on the grave(Being a guitarist). I can’t attach to this page but ask Forever Shining to show you Christopher O’Leary’s Plaque…. Thanks Forever Shining xx”

“Thank you to everyone at Forever Shining. When looking for a plaque for my Father-In-Law, I searched the internet, looked at lots of websites and contacted many companies. Forever Shining was the standout by far. Their website was informative, user friendly and was the only one that had pricing (which were very reasonable) and let you design your own. I received a fast response to my email and a lovely design which was just what we were after. The whole process was effortless. We received the plaque within the time frame, it was of superior quality and beyond our expectations. It was better than we imagined.”

“From the get go, the staff at Forever Shining were amazingly helpful and beautiful to deal with. The online design process could not have been made easier, and then the final helpful suggestions by Nicole, to make our own memorial plaque in honour of mother, so special. The delivery was perfect. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. I can highly recommend this family run business to anyone 💕”

“Forever Shining did a fantastic job making my mothers premium black granite plaque with laser etching. The image we used of mum came out beautifully and everything we asked for was delivered at an exceptionally high standard. They also organised the installation of the plaque at Pinnaroo Memorial Park for us in time for my mothers unveiling. Thank you Forever Shining for making this easy for my family and I. We are all very happy with Mums plaque. Job well done :)”

“Forever shining made a beautiful plaque for my family which we have placed on a large granite rock. We needed it made in a hurry and Forever Shining did their very best to get it to us on time. They were also very helpful with ideas and tips on the best way to mount the plaque. Thank you very much for all the effort you went to – particularly to Dannae for all her patience and understanding.”

“I highly recommend Forever Shining! I recently lost my beautiful mum, and quite suddenly too, and needed to organise her Memorial plaque. Forever Shining’s Online Design system was easy for me to use, and their wonderful Customer Service team were only a phone call away for any questions I had. Mum’s plaque arrived on time and very carefully packed. I honestly can’t fault them. A very special business.”

“I Manage Newhaven Funerals, Crematorium and Memorial Gardens in Mackay, Queensland. We have been using Forever Shining since 2011 and have ordered over 160 plaques from them. We have ordered granite, bronze and stainless steel plaques and we have never had an issue with the quality of the plaque and the prompt service from Forever Shining. The website is very user friendly and lets you get a life like picture of what your design will look like before it is produced. Forever Shining also have a great design team that always help to make sure our customers get the best design possible for their memorial. I would recommend Forever Shining for any memorial needs.”

“Thank you for the incredible stainless steel plaques you created for my parents. The reason I am writing this review is to compliment and recommend you on the quality and level of durability you produced. Have recently returned to the West Coast of Tasmania where my parent’s plaques are and knowing they have been subjected to the wildest weather conditions and still remain looking perfect after 10 years is a testament to your workmanship..”

We would highly recommend them to anyone.”

“An amazing company to deal with! After experiencing a lot of frustration trying to deal with a cemetery that was attempting to force me to use their supplier, I contacted Dannae, and she and the staff were so helpful, empathetic and caring. After many emails back and forth we together designed a plaque, which was shipped directly the cemetery in Melbourne. Such a beautiful final product and faultless service.”
Deb · Google review · 6 years ago
“My contact (AJ at Admin) was very helpful. We changed the spelling of one name several times, as well as the method of affixing the stainless steel plaque. She was not phased. I also asked for the plaque to be made and delivered to Tasmania in a much shorter time than would normally be the case. It arrived exactly on time. Many thanks.”

“I can’t recommend this company enough! They completed our plaque in a few weeks when other companies said it would take 6 months due to covid etc! They were lovely to deal with, helpful with great ideas and weren’t pushy and listened to exactly what we wanted. They also completed the order earlier then expected.”

“We ordered a memorial plaque to place in our garden in memory of our beautiful 12 y/o Doberman Lola. It turned out even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so very much. We are extremely grateful.”
Danielle Woods · Facebook review
“There’s not enough words to describe how beautiful my dad’s headstone turned out or to even begin to thank the team at Forever Shinning for their excellent communication and eye to detail. The whole experience was exceptional and we’re very pleased to say that we will be using them again if ever we need to! I was very picky and just wanted it to be absolutely perfect as do so many others, I was a little worried about not seeing it in person and only seeing photos emailed to me of the mock-up, BUT it is more than we thought was imaginable. The quality, the detail and just the stone itself is unexplainable on how incredible it is! So thank you to the whole team….”

After dealing with another company in my home state and being totally frustrated and disappointed, I reached out to Forever Shining, within 4 days the incredible plaque was in my hands.

This company produces a brilliant product! and Outstanding service!”
