Headstones & Monuments at Botany Cemetery

Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park, Matraville

Contact Us

H. Johnson & Co. makes headstones, monuments and memorial plaques for families with loved ones at Botany Cemetery, part of Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park in Matraville.

Our workshop is just up the road in Banksmeadow, and we have been making memorials for Sydney families since 1923. Being this close makes it easy for us to visit the site and install your memorial.

Lawn and Monumental Memorials at Botany

Botany Cemetery has both lawn and monumental sections, and each has its own rules on the size and style of memorial. We work within those rules to design a headstone, monument or plaque that suits the section and your family's wishes.

Approval and Installation

Most cemeteries need to approve a memorial before it is installed. We prepare the design and paperwork for the cemetery, then make and install the memorial once it is approved.

Adding Names and Restoring Older Memorials

Botany is one of Sydney's older cemeteries, and many family graves there need care. We add new names and dates to existing memorials, repaint and regild faded lettering, and clean, re-level and repair older headstones. See our headstone restoration page for more.

Monuments at Botany Cemetery

A cemetery monument provides a permanent place to remember a loved one and can be designed to reflect their life, family and wishes.

H. Johnson & Co creates custom monuments with options for different stone types, finishes, lettering and decorative details. Designs can range from traditional cemetery monuments through to more personalised memorials.

Before a monument is manufactured, the design needs to take into account the requirements of the relevant cemetery. Our experienced team can discuss the available options and help guide you through the process.
