Price Guides
We've listed a few pricing examples below for those interested in our glass headstones but unsure of what to expect. We'll continue adding more as we receive permission to share additional images on our site.
Permits & Council Requirements
It’s important to note that many cemeteries and crematoriums require permits before installing a memorial. Our glass is a minimum of 48mm thick and meets all the same NZ standards required for granite. While some councils may initially decline “glass,” it’s essential to request permission specifically for Escape Slumped Glass Headstones and or plaques.
Please note: Permit fees for glass headstones are not included in our final quote. You are responsible for obtaining any required permits at your own expense. You do not need a permit for our glass plaques, only permission.
✅
All urupā are independently owned outside of government structures so may not have permits as such, but it is important to contact the trustees/manager for approval.
✅
We can supply all technical specifications and strength/durability data to support your permit application.
