MMS Memorials have been supplying the Brisbane Jewish community with Jewish memorials and Jewish monuments since 1980. We understand the Jewish burial ritual and ensure Jewish monuments are erected in line with Chevra Kadisha requirements.
With a long history of keeping with the traditions of the Jewish community in Brisbane. Erecting a monument is an ancient Jewish tradition. The significance of The Monument ('Matzeivah'), whether placing a Jewish headstone, footstone or placed directly over the grave has three common purposes are:
We understand the importance of timelines for the installation of Jewish monuments and the significance depending on the customs and traditions of the departed. For example, we have found most commonly the timing of the memorial is before the yahrtzeit (within the first anniversary of passing according to the Jewish calendar). The cost, size and shape of the monument may be determined by the family or the wishes of the departed. Whatever the final design it is important to do honour to the departed loved one.
We understand that there are many things to consider when choosing a Jewish memorial including the type of stone, inscriptions, design and budget. Jones and Travers memorial masons can assist you every step of the way to ensure that your memorial is modest and long lasting.
Choose from our existing Jewish memorial range or have Jones and Travers design team and fully qualified master stonemasons custom make your Jewish monument. Our memorials can include:
As with all of our stone products, the stone that we use is of the highest quality and workmanship is completed by master stonemasons.
To complete your memorial you will need to have an idea of the overall design by considering the specific inscription, lettering, type and colours of the stone. In selecting the inscription and lettering for your memorial you will need to decide upon the style, colour, font, size, logos and imagery to be used on the stone.
Jones and Travers will guide you through your selection of the type of stone and stone finish for your Jewish Memorial. Select from our extensive range of high-quality Australian or imported natural stone. Natural stone memorials are available in granite, marble, sandstone and reconstituted stone. Though, granite is most common and strongly recommended for stone memorials and headstones due to its features of strength, durable and low water absorption.
