Memorials for local authorities and public bodies
Preferential pricing. A personal commitment to remembrance.
Some projects mean far more than the stone they are made from. At Rubi Stone Architecture, we design and craft monuments, memorial plaques and remembrance spaces that give personal stories a lasting place in public life, with care, skilled craftsmanship and preferential pricing for public bodies.

Sculptural and personal memorials
A portrait, figure or detail from a life story can become the focus of a monument. In public settings, we consider both the distant silhouette and the close encounter: a recognisable shape, a legible dedication and details worth pausing for.

An artist-crafted memorialNatural stone, movement and light
About this memorial The stone’s flowing form and translucent detail create presence without relying on extensive text.
Names and community remembrance
When a memorial honours several people, every name deserves a clear and considered place. Name order, languages, symbols and panel layout are agreed in advance, with provision for future additions where needed.

About this memorial Individual panels on natural stone bring a group of names into one composition.
An artist-crafted memorialA community tribute in clean lines
About this memorial Clean lines in pale stone give an inscription a quiet presence in a green setting.
Remembrance gardens and places to pause
A memorial belongs to a wider setting. Seating, paths, planting and an inscribed stone shape how people arrive, read and spend time. Stonework is coordinated with landscape design, infrastructure and maintenance so the space remains welcoming after the dedication ceremony.

A workshop-funded offer
More ways to honour a memory, within your budget.
We offer reduced prices and substantial discounts to municipalities, local and regional councils, Israel’s Ministry of Defense and institutions undertaking memorial projects. Designing and making the work in our own workshop lets us explore materials, dimensions and fabrication options together, shaping a proposal around both your vision and your budget.
The price and discount are agreed for each project and set out in a written proposal. This offer is provided by Rubi; it is not a government subsidy scheme.
Designing the place. Preserving the story.
Memorials for public spaces
Each setting calls for its own way of remembering: a central monument in a ceremonial square, a personal memorial stone in a garden or a wall of names in an institution. We tailor the work to its surroundings, its visitors and the way remembrance will become part of everyday life.
Memorial squares and commemorative sites
We design and make the central stone feature for a square, forecourt or public site, working with the project’s planners. We consider distant views, gathering space and the surrounding landscape. Civil works and infrastructure are scoped separately in the specification.
Remembrance gardens and memorial benches
A memorial stone in a community garden, a sculpted bench or a quiet corner on institutional grounds. Together with the responsible professionals, we consider human scale, seating, surrounding planting and access to the space.
Memorial plaques and walls of names
Stone plaques with names, dedications and symbols for public buildings, schools and remembrance sites. We plan the order of names, line breaks, contrast and room for future additions. All wording is submitted for approval before engraving.
Remembering the people. Keeping their names with us.
Remembering those murdered and those who fell on October 7
Since October 7, giving memory a tangible place has taken on a particularly deep meaning for us. We have created monuments and memorial works for people murdered and those who fell on October 7. We regard this work as a sacred responsibility: to each name, each face, each life story and the families who will carry that memory for years to come.
We offer reduced prices for these projects to help families, communities and public bodies bring their plans to life. We start by listening: who the person was, what matters to the family and which details must be preserved. The design then connects that personal memory with a shared place.
For a community project, we recommend appointing one contact to coordinate family approvals and dedication texts. Names, dates, photographs and symbols are approved before production, giving every detail proper attention and reducing late changes.

About this memorial Rubi Stone Architecture
A workshop where care meets design and craftsmanship.
Rubi brings 25 years of experience in handcraft, sculpture and stoneworking to every project. Our workshop and showroom at 5 Basel Street, Petah Tikva, cover two dunams and offer a choice of more than 300 distinctive stones and boulders. Here you can see the materials, compare colours and textures, and refine the design directly with the maker.
The process can include a 3D visualisation before fabrication, stoneworking, sculpture, engraving, and glass or metal elements where specified. We work across Israel and coordinate transport and installation to suit the site. Each project sets out the scope, professional interfaces and responsibilities in advance.
A clear process
From the first idea to the finished memorial
Define the story, setting and budget
We establish the purpose, commissioning body, site and preferred date. If there is no developed brief yet, a conversation and photographs of the location are enough to start.
Develop the design and tailored proposal
We review materials, dimensions, inscriptions and artistic details. The proposal specifies what is included, the discount and available alternatives, giving you a clear basis for a decision.
Approve and coordinate the work
The design and wording are approved, and arrangements are coordinated with those responsible for the site. Foundations, transport, lifting, access and any required specialists or approvals are considered before work begins.
Make, install and hand over
Fabrication follows the approved specification. Installation and timing are agreed with the site, and handover includes a review of the completed work and care guidance for the chosen material.
A proposal you can review, compare and approve.
A public project needs a proposal that defines both the finished work and the boundaries of the scope. Please tell us if your procurement or budget approval process requires a specific format.
- Materials and dimensions: stone type, finish, proportions and inscription areas.
- Scope: sculpture, engraving and combined materials, with exclusions clearly stated.
- Site conditions: foundations, delivery and lifting access, infrastructure and contractor coordination.
- Price and terms: discount, VAT, payments, proposal validity and agreed schedule.
- Handover and care: completion checks, warranty under the specification and maintenance guidance.
Before you begin
Who can request preferential pricing?
Municipalities, local and regional councils, Israel’s Ministry of Defense and institutions planning memorial projects. Community and family representatives are also welcome to discuss their needs. Each proposal reflects the commissioning body, scope and project conditions.
How much is the discount, and is the price subsidised?
We provide reduced pricing and substantial discounts through our workshop. There is no fixed percentage or government-subsidised price list. The discount and final price are set out in writing after reviewing stone, dimensions, fabrication, transport and installation.
Can we contact you with just an initial idea?
Yes. The purpose of the memorial, a possible location and a budget range are a good starting point. Site photographs, the number of names and a preferred date help us suggest a practical direction. A complete plan is not needed for the initial conversation.
Do you handle all civil works and approvals?
Responsibilities are agreed in the specification. Fabrication and installation are coordinated with the project team. Civil works, electrics, landscaping, foundations and approvals are reviewed and scoped separately; they should not be assumed to be included in the stonework price.
Can installation be planned around a memorial ceremony?
We can assess this against the ceremony date, material availability, complexity and readiness of the site and approvals. Tell us the date at the first enquiry. A firm schedule is agreed only after reviewing the details and approving the design.
Tell us about your project.
Let’s shape a proposal around your purpose and budget.
Leave your name, phone number and the organisation you represent. We will get in touch to discuss the setting, scope and preferential price we can offer. You are welcome to contact us while the idea is still taking shape.
