Crane Funeral Services with Care, Precision & Respect
At Hallettstone Memorials, our commitment to supporting families during life’s most tender moments goes beyond the crafting of memorials. In recent years, funeral directors across Victoria have entrusted us with a range of specialist for crane funeral services that require skill, sensitivity, and the right equipment.
Led by Wayne Hallett, a fourth-generation master monumental stonemason, our team offers expert support for:
Ledger Lifts in Cemeteries
Lifting or repositioning a ledger can be challenging, particularly in cemeteries with limited access or ageing infrastructure. That’s where our expertise makes a difference.
Funeral directors regularly call on us for this service, trusting Wayne Hallett’s skilled and careful approach. With our mini crawler crane, we can access tight or delicate areas where larger equipment cannot operate, and with the addition of our new truck crane which is the largest and longest-reaching in our industry, we’re able to handle even the most complex lifts with safety and precision.
Our reputation for dependable, respectful service is well known throughout the Victorian Funeral Directors Association. When a ledger needs to be moved with care, Wayne is often the first call.
Coffin Lowering Assistance
There are occasions when lowering a coffin into the grave becomes especially challenging—whether due to difficult terrain or the combined weight of the coffin.
In such moments, Wayne is often called upon to provide coffin lowering assistance. Working respectfully and discreetly, he ensures the coffin is transferred from the hearse and lowered into the grave with utmost dignity. Every step is carried out with complete adherence to WorkSafe standards, ensuring the safety of those present.
Crane Capabilities That Lead the Industry
With the recent addition of a powerful new crane, boasting the longest reach of any crane in our fleet, we now offer lifting capabilities that are unmatched by other stonemasons in the region.
Supporting Funeral Directors with Confidence & Compassion
We understand that families and funeral directors need partners they can rely on during emotionally significant times. That’s why Wayne and our team approach every call-out not just as a task, but as a responsibility, to uphold respect, safety, and tradition.
