A person's grave is not just their final resting place. It is not just a piece of earth that holds them. Along with all the fond memories of them, it is their legacy. The grave symbolizes that person's life. It radiates their personality. Their favorite flowers adorn the grave, as does the headstone, whose shape and inscription remind us of the deceased. The gravestone, as we know it in our cultural history, has a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. It is much more than a dead stone. On the contrary. It is alive and embodies an entire human life. This is how the grave should be. So that the deceased—just as they were—continues to live on in a tangible and visible way. This is how we think about the grave and its design.
