Fourth Generation of Stonemasons

Our Story

Wayne Hallett is the youngest son of nine children of Felix Hallett. His great grandfather, stonemason William Frank Hallett began his journey in the late 1800’s and the craft was passed on to the subsequent generations. Wayne Hallett is a 4th Generation Master Stonemason.

The Hallett family has always made it a priority to produce the finest quality of workmanship in all types of stone and this is evident in the cemeteries, churches, commercial buildings and homes throughout Melbourne, regional Victoria, interstate and overseas.

The Generational Family business was founded in the late 1800’s by Adelaide stonemason William Francis Hallett (Frank) in a little confine in Flinders Lane, right behind the old Herald office. He stayed there until 1910 when the firm relocated to Bridge Rd Richmond, staying until 1989 when it moved all of its operations to Mahoneys Rd Thomastown. In early 2014, Wayne re-branded his share of F. Hallett & Son and with it began a new venture by its former director and fourth generation stonemason, Wayne Hallett, the founder of the newest and most exciting company to enter the market, Hallettstone Memorials.
