Palmerston North's Premier Memorials & Monumental Masons

At William E. Jones Ltd, we’ve been helping families create lasting memorials for over 100 years. Based in Palmerston North, we work with families across Manawatu, Whanganui, Horowhenua, Wairarapa, and surrounding regions to design meaningful headstones and monuments that truly reflect the people they honor.

We’re a family-run business, and we treat every family we work with the same way we’d want our own to be treated—with care, patience, and respect.

Your comfort is our success

When you’re dealing with the loss of someone close, the last thing you need is confusion or pressure. You just want guidance, clarity, and someone who understands what you’re going through.

That’s exactly what we’re here for.

Choosing a memorial can feel overwhelming. There are decisions to make, details to consider, and emotions tied to every step. That’s why we don’t rush the process or push you toward something that doesn’t feel right. Instead, we guide you through your options, answer your questions, and help you create something personal and lasting.

We specialize in high-quality granite and marble headstones, offering both standard designs and fully custom memorials. Whether you have a clear idea in mind or need help shaping one, we’ll work with you to get it right.
