Memorial stones & grave pillars in natural stone
A memorial stone is more than just stone – it is a personal tribute and a tangible reminder of a loved one. At Natuurlijk Graniet, we design and create grave pillars and memorial plaques with respect, care and craftsmanship.
Each memorial stone is unique and tells a story. Together we ensure that the monument reflects the memory and the person being commemorated.
Our options
- Completely personal – Engravings, symbols, religious signs or personal texts.
- Custom-made in shape and colour – From sleek and modern to classic and ornate.
- Extra options – Photo plaque, lantern, vase or plinth for a personal touch.
Popular stone types
- Belgian bluestone – Timeless and understated, very suitable for simple and classic monuments.
- Granite – Durable, strong and available in many colours and textures.
- Slate or composite – Natural look, often used for modern memorial plaques.
Together we design a fitting tribute
We guide families, funeral directors and cemeteries step by step in designing and creating a memorial monument. In a personal meeting, we discuss wishes, ideas and possibilities.
Whether it concerns a grave pillar, memorial plaque or another personal monument: we ensure a dignified and timeless remembrance.
Frequently asked questions about grave pillars and memorial plaques
How long does a natural stone memorial last?
A memorial stone made of granite or bluestone will last for decades. With proper maintenance, the stone retains its color and appearance even after prolonged exposure to weather conditions.
Can I have my own text or symbol engraved?
Yes, almost any text, name, date or image can be engraved in the stone. Symbols, religious signs or personal illustrations are also among the possibilities.
Is it possible to add a photo plaque or accessory later?
Yes, additions such as a photo plaque, lantern or vase can also be installed later or integrated into the existing monument.
What rules apply to grave pillars and memorial stones?
Each cemetery has its own guidelines for dimensions and materials. We are familiar with these rules and ensure that the monument always complies.
How does the process go from design to installation?
After the first meeting, we make a design proposal. Once approved, production follows and ultimately installation at the cemetery. This process takes an average of 6 to 12 weeks. We also handle the permit application.
