Black granite: Design, Selection and Care
A dark stone for a clear, composed design. Keep the lines simple, or introduce lighter stone, sculpture and personal lettering. Depending on the lettering method, pale letters can create a strong contrast with the dark surface.
How does this stone work in a headstone design?
An entirely dark design, a combination with lighter stone, or an artistic detail given centre stage.
What should you check in a stone sample?
Check the sheen, colour consistency and readability in daylight. See a sample in your chosen finish.
How should you care for the stone?
Choose cleaning products for both stone and inscription. Avoid acids and abrasives even on dark stone. Read more in ourheadstone care and restoration guide.
Lettering that works with a dark background
Finish and contrast determine how easily an inscription can be read. Compare lettering on a similar stone and check reflections. A black granite headstone can have simple lines or include sculpture and other materials.
What can be personalised?
The design follows the plot, your family’s wishes and your budget. We consider the upright and base, the finish and the inscription area. Personal details can be added where the material and site rules allow. Every addition is included in the specifications before production.
How do you place an order?
- Send the cemetery name, plot details and preferred date.
- Choose a material and design direction, then check permitted dimensions.
- Receive an itemised quote and approve the inscription.
- We make the headstone in our workshop and arrange installation.
