Tumbled Riverstone Memorial For People
Product Description
Our engraved tumbled river stones make a very special memorial marker. Formed over millions of years each stone is hand selected before being lovingly hand engraved with your inscription.
Being a natural product the shape, size and colour varies, making each stone as unique and individual as your beloved. They look especially attractive in a garden or back yard setting.
The stones are available in two sizes. The large size is up to 20cm across and has room to include a graphic, a name, and date/s along the bottom. The extra-large sized stones are greater than 20cm across and have room to include a graphic and up to 3 lines of inscription. Both sizes offer an optional ashes receptacle, holding up to 50 mL of ashes. The receptacle is an optional add-on and is not included as standard. The stone can also be used as a memorial without ashes.
The inscription is deeply engraved into the stone and the lettering is finished in black.
Within a few days of placing your order with us, our artwork department will email you an artwork proof for you to approve prior to us scheduling the engraving. This way you get to see exactly what your engraving will look like and check everything is in order.
If you have any special requests to accompany your order you can add this to the "Special Instructions" box on the cart page.

The stone is perfect. Exactly as described. We had been looking for the right memorial stone for a while and eventually came across this company. It was exactly what we wanted and the process was very easy. The customer service team were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend this company.
It is good to hear you found the right memorial stone with us. We aim to keep the ordering process straightforward and are pleased our team could assist you.
The engraved rock was a beautiful touch to the memorial and scattering of my dad's ashes in Gippsland, Victoria. My dad was the powerhouse behind a project that saw new trees planted for the endangered Tiger Quolls in Wonyip, Victoria back in 2007. The rock dedicated to him and his ashes now lie at the entrance of the corridor of trees that is now the home of the beautiful species. Rest in peace Trevor Colvin. God bless
Thank you, Inga, for sharing such a beautiful story about your dad. What a remarkable legacy Trevor has left behind, not only for your family but for the endangered Tiger Quolls and the environment he worked so hard to protect. It's incredibly special to know that his engraved riverstone now rests at the entrance to the corridor of trees he helped bring to life. We feel privileged to have played a small part in honouring his memory. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Amazing service and quality.
Thank you Talking Stones for your important products, our family has been very moved and will cherish this memory forever.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words. Knowing that the memorial has meant so much to your family is incredibly special to us. We hope it brings you comfort and helps keep those precious memories close for many years to come. Thank you for trusting Talking Stones to create it for you.
I actually got this as a gift for one of my besties and her hubby for their anniversary so it wasn't a memorial stone haha but they have a beautiful fish tank in their home and I thought the natural stone would be such a lovely addition to their fish tank!
They both loved the stone and thought it was such a unique gift idea. The shipping and proofing process went very smoothly and quickly and the quality of the engraving was perfect.
Thank you guys for helping me with this gift. I'm so glad I found you because it's not easy finding custom engraved stones haha.
