"The personal gravestone"

As unique as every person is, so special should their gravestone be. We have made this our goal.

We will therefore discuss your wishes and ideas with you. We will guide you through the design options in a professional and skilled manner. In consultation with you, we will develop an individual design idea that will be implemented in your personal gravestone. The finished design can ultimately range from simple symbols and shapes to abstract and complex symbols and engravings.

We deal with gravestones in detail. We are also happy to look after set stones and embed them in nature in the form of garden and square designs.

Grave markers

Listed below are selected works from our workshop. When creating our works, we are guided by our creativity and respond to the wishes of our customers.

Because the uniqueness of each work is paramount in our way of working, we have deliberately limited ourselves to a small selection of photos.

Sculptural works

The following selection of works shows sculptural pieces that we have produced in addition to our core business. The occasions for which they were created vary. The selection includes gifts for special occasions, free works and works for exhibitions.

Stone is a natural product that does not remain unchanged. Over time, a natural patina can form on the stone and traces of weathering can appear. Whether ageing on stone is perceived as aesthetic or not is in the eye of the beholder.

We offer care, treatment and cleaning of all types of natural stone. In doing so, we pay attention to the use of ecologically compatible products.

The font design makes a significant contribution to the design of a gravestone. However, lettering can not only decorate grave markers, but can also be used on other objects. For example, we offer façade lettering that gives new meaning to house numbers or family names. We also create name plaques, which are an exceptional gift for special occasions such as birthdays or weddings.

We offer engraving and relief lettering. We design and draw our lettering personally and by hand.

Transfer and copying techniques

Objects and shapes can be enlarged, reduced or multiplied using transfer and copying techniques. With the dotting device, we can transfer figures 1:1 into stone true to form. With the compass dotting method, it is possible to enlarge or reduce objects in stone by any factor. These two techniques were already used in ancient times and are still used today. Silicone molding makes it possible to multiply figures as desired in plaster, metal and concrete.

We offer the puncturing technique and circle puncturing method in stone as well as silicone-based molding techniques.
