Solid stone blocks: Design, Selection and Care
A solid-block headstone is designed around a real volume and shape. The block can be sculpted and worked or partly left natural. “Block” describes the form; the stone type is selected separately.
How does this stone work in a headstone design?
Personal sculpture, a boulder headstone or a composition centred on one substantial block.
What should you check in a stone sample?
Check weight, dimensions, compatibility with the base, installation access and sufficient room for lettering.
How should you care for the stone?
Match care to the stone and its combination of smooth and rough surfaces. Read more in ourheadstone care and restoration guide.
Choose the actual piece of stone
For a boulder headstone, the original shape and texture guide the whole design. Choose the actual block, check how much space can be set aside for lettering and make sure the base and height suit the plot.
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.
