About me
Let's create something special to honour the pets and people you love
Hi, I'm Lee.
I love being creative with our beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand stone and I take great pride in what I do. I feel especially privileged when I am trusted with creating memorials that provide comfort to people, and help them remember and honour their dearly treasured pets and loved ones.
Simply put, I am here when you need me.
Because all of my stones are customised in some way, I realise the amount of available options on my website may be overwhelming or confusing to some people, especially if you are grieving. If this is you, or you’re just a little unsure, please feel welcome to email or call me instead. We can have a nice chat and I can take care of everything for you.

How long does it take?
Please allow between 5 to 10 business days from acceptance of the final design proof.
01
Draft Design.
I draft some designs for your review. The designs are super imposed over the actual stone(s) you will receive, so you know what to expect and what it will look like.
Allow time: 1 day
02
Create Engraving Template.
Once approved, I fine tune and convert the design to an engraving template, plot-cut and weed (pick out letters etc from the vinyl). This can be very fiddly for intricate designs.
Allow time: 1 day
03
Prep and Glue.
Clean and prepare the stone, cut and glue the vinyl template. Glue drying time can take up to a day when cold.
Allow time: 1 day
04
Engrave, Paint and Cure.
I carefully sandblast carve the stone and fine tune with a dremmel if required. I then prime and paint your stone with two coats of all your chosen colours.
Allow time: 1 day
Allow extra paint curing time: 1 day
05
Pack and Send.
I clean and giftwrap your stone, carefully package it for safe transport, and send to your nominated address by tracked courier.
Allow Courier time: 2-3 business days
(Auckland depots can take longer due to Covid shortages)

CHOOSE YOUR STYLE
Simple or Detailed?
My creations are made special, by my ability to engrave more intricate and detailed designs than what's available elsewhere. I also feature metallics, multiple colours and use a greater surface area of the stone.
This is what I am known for, and is my SIGNATURE RANGE.
My CLASSIC RANGE designs are more budget friendly due to the simpler silhouette-only imagery. I still offer the use of colour and a variety of image choices.
CHOOSE YOUR SIZE
PEBBLE, MINI, SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, EXTRA LARGE
The smaller the stone, the less text, detail and/or imagery can be engraved. If unsure, please feel welcome to discuss your vision with me.
PEBBLE
Approx. 30 - 60mm
Great for one simple image, word or short name.
MINI
Approx. 60 - 90mm
A good choice for simple designs and mini pet memorials.
SMALL
Approx. 90 - 120mm
A popular choice for more detailed designs and personalised paperweights.
MEDIUM
Approx. 120 - 150mm
More scope for text, detailed designs and larger fonts.
LARGE
Approx. 150 - 200mm
An ideal size for detailed imagery, larger fonts or more text. Popular for outdoor pet and loved one memorials.
EXTRA LARGE
Approx. 200 - 400+mm
A perfect size for front door welcome stones and outdoor memorials. Stones can weigh between 5 - 12kg.
SIZE SCALE
Mini, small and large stones with an AA battery for scale comparison.

THANKS FOR VISITING
Hi, I'm Lee. A warm welcome and thank you for stopping by.
I love being creative with our beautiful New Zealand stone, and I take great pride in what I do. I am especially honoured when I am trusted to create memorials that provide comfort to people and help them remember their treasured pets and loved ones. Having lost many people and pets of my own, I understand the deep grief and emotion behind every tribute I make.
I personally select each individual stone, conceive a thoughtful design and respectfully engrave each piece by hand, hoping this personal touch adds to the mana and significance of the stone. I enjoy working with my customers to create truly bespoke and meaningful keepsakes, whether they be memorials, celebratory stones or personalised paperweights. I am always happy to answer any questions, discuss ideas and bring them to life, as there are no limits to our imagination.
Because all of my stones are customised in some way, I realise the amount of available options on my website may be overwhelming or confusing to some people, especially if you are grieving. If this is you, or you’re just a little unsure, please feel welcome to email or call me instead. We can have a nice chat and I can take care of everything for you.
If you would like to see videos, hear the stories behind my creations or get to know me a bit more, follow me on my social media pages – I post all sorts of tidbits (more on Instagram) and really enjoy interacting with comments and seeing the posted photos of my clients with their stones.
Here when you need me,
Lee
