Trust your memorial to a NZMMMA Master Mason
Skilled craftspeople, expert advice and care
Choosing a memorial for someone you love is an important decision, and you should feel confident in the people helping you. Since 1945, the New Zealand Master Monumental Masons Association has worked to protect the public's right to honour loved ones with a memorial of their choice.
Established trusted businesses
Our members are well-established New Zealand businesses, often family-run and passed down through generations
Proven skills
Members must meet work experience and skill criteria, maintaining the high standard of workmanship you expect from traditional monumental stonemasonry.
Quality construction that lasts
Members endorse durable granite and build with the care needed to stand the test of time. Inferior, poorly made products on the market may not reach that lifetime.
