"The personal gravestone"

Just as every person is unique, so too should their gravestone be special. That is the goal we have set ourselves.

That is why we discuss your wishes and ideas with you. We guide you through the design options with our professional expertise and skilled craftsmanship. In consultation with you, we develop an individual design concept that is then implemented in your personal gravestone. The finished design can range from simple symbols and shapes to abstract, complex signs and engravings.

We are deeply involved with gravestones. We are equally happy to take care of installed stones and their integration into nature in the form of garden and square designs.

Gravestones

Below you will find a selection of works from our workshop. We let our creativity guide us in our work and respond to the wishes of our customers.

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

Sculptural works

The following selection of works shows sculptural works 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 care

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

We offer care, treatment, and cleaning for all types of natural stone. We take care to use environmentally friendly products.

Font design

Typeface design contributes significantly to the creative impact of a gravestone. However, typefaces can not only adorn gravestones, but can also be used on other objects. We offer facade lettering that gives house numbers or family names a new significance. We also create name plaques that are popular as unusual gifts for special occasions such as birthdays or weddings.

We offer engravings and relief lettering. We design and draw our lettering ourselves by hand.

Transfer and copying techniques

Transfer and copying techniques can be used to enlarge, reduce, or duplicate objects and shapes. With the pointing device, we can transfer figures into stone true to scale. Using the compass pointing 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 in exactly the same way today. Silicone molding makes it possible to reproduce figures in plaster, metal, and concrete as desired.

We offer pointillism and compass pointillism techniques in stone as well as silicone-based molding techniques.
