Children Tombstones

are delicate and heartfelt memorials that honor the short but meaningful lives of young ones. The manufacture and customization of these tombstones involve a sensitive approach to ensure they provide comfort and remembrance to grieving families.

Materials

Children's tombstones are crafted from high-quality, durable materials to ensure they last for generations:

  • Granite: Popular for its durability and variety of colors, allowing for detailed engravings and designs.
  • Marble: Chosen for its classic beauty and smooth finish, though it is less resistant to weathering than granite

Design Options

The design of children's tombstones often reflects the innocence and purity of the child's life. Common styles include:

  • Upright Headstones: Traditional vertical stones that provide space for inscriptions and designs.
  • Flat Markers: Also known as lawn-level markers, these lie flat on the ground for a more understated appearance.
  • Bevel Markers: Slightly sloped markers that are easier to read and offer a subtle design.
  • Statues and Sculptures: Angelic or other child-related figures that provide a more personalized and tender touch.

Customization

Personalization is key to creating a meaningful memorial for a child. Options include:

  • Inscriptions: Names, dates, and heartfelt messages are engraved into the stone.
  • Symbols and Imagery: Engravings of toys, animals, angels, or other child-friendly images that reflect the child’s personality and interests.
  • Portrait Etchings: Detailed laser etchings of the child’s portrait to provide a lifelike representation.
  • Colors and Finishes: Using different colors and finishes to create a softer, more child-appropriate appearance.

Production Process

  1. Consultation: Understanding the family's wishes and preferences to create a design that honors their child.
  2. Quarrying and Cutting: Selecting and cutting the stone to the desired size and shape.
  3. Polishing and Finishing: Polishing the stone to achieve a smooth, reflective surface.
