Thirteen countries,
and no two cemeteries alike.
A German grave, a Polish cover, a British lawn marker and a Spanish niche front are four different products. We cut all of them from the same block runs — the difference is the drawing, the rule sheet and the language on the stone.
Where we ship,
and what each market orders.
Thirteen European countries take stone from the works. The lines below are what those buyers most often order, not a limit on what we cut.

Six memorial traditions,
one works.
Tell us which tradition the job belongs to and half the specification is already understood — the rest is sizes and lettering.
German & Austrian
Grabmal · EinfassungUpright with kerb surround
Double and family graves, planted inside a kerb surround, sizes set by the cemetery.
Polish
NagrobekFull cover over the grave
A ledger cover across the whole plot with an upright at the head, often in black granite.
British & Irish
Cemetery regulationHeadstone on a base
Regulated heights and widths, lawn cemeteries often allowing flat or bevel markers only.
Southern European
Loculi · nichosNiche and loculi fronts
Wall burial and cremation niches, so the order is fronts, plaques and cladding rather than uprights.
Balkan
SpomenikPortrait on black granite
Polished black uprights with etched portraits, crosses and Cyrillic or Latin lettering.
Cremation & urn
Growing everywhereNiches, urn walls, small plots
Cremation is rising across Europe, so niche fronts, urn plots and small markers are the fastest-moving lines.
Nearly every European cemetery publishes a rule sheet with maximum heights, widths and foundation detail. Send it with the enquiry and the drawing comes back inside it, rather than being redrawn after the family has approved something the cemetery will refuse.
Eight steps,
the same for every country.
From a single headstone to a container of niche fronts, the route through the works does not change — only the drawing does.
