All-polished South African Dark Grey granite
A traditional headstone featuring a carved open book and rose design across its face.
Shown in South African Dark Grey granite
A considered, enduring design
Simple in character, carefully finished
South African Dark Grey granite is polished throughout to bring out its rich, even tone. A carved open book spans the face of the headstone, with a raised tassel and space above for a personal ornament such as the rose shown.
It is shown with a single flower container bored into the base, although the number and position can be adapted where appropriate. The book pages provide a natural setting for the inscription, while the rose and other ornamentation can be personalised.
Easy to care for
Polished granite is durable and can usually be maintained with a soft cloth and clean water.
