A person's grave is not just their final resting place. It is not just the piece of earth that holds him. It is, alongside all the fond memories of him, his legacy. The grave symbolizes the life of this person. It radiates his personality. His favorite flowers characterize the grave just as much as the gravestone, which reminds us of the deceased in form and message. The gravestone, as we know it in our cultural history, has a tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages. It is far more than a dead stone. On the contrary. It is alive and embodies an entire human life. This is how the grave could, should be. So that the deceased - just as he was - lives on tangibly and visibly. This is how we think about the grave and its design.
