Memorials & Headstones
WIRIHANA
Kia ora e te whānau,
My name is Clay Wilson and I am a fully qualified Monumental stone mason.
For the past 16 years I have had the honour of putting together memorials / headstones for whānau all over Aotearoa.
Wirihana Memorials and Headstones is a small husband & wife operated business based from our home in Pirongia, Waikato.
My wife Kylie Wilson, (Ngāti Porou), is the image and plaque designer. Kylie designs and creates plaques and headstone drafts from the kupu/wordings that are given to us by whānau.
We are proud to show case to whānau some of our very own designs, carved from granite.
We offer:
Full granite packages
Engraving of lettering
Engraved graphic's (e.g. Ratana star, roses)
Porcelain headstone photos
Porcelain plaques
Bronze plaques
Permits & installation if needed by whānau
Thank you so much for viewing our mahi and if there is anything that interests whānau, please feel free to contact me.
Although most packages would have to be ordered & carved. Whānau are more than welcome to view before purchasing a memorial. (We always have mahi in progress)
Contact me for a day and time that suits us both. Please note I am away most weekends.
