Expert in the manufacture of classic granite tombstones
Choosing a classic tombstone is a significant decision to pay a lasting and respectful tribute to a loved one. Unlike modern tombstones, classic tombstone styles are more traditional to pay a more sober tribute.
Our collections highlight the simplicity and elegance of granite, a material prized for its strength and its ability to stand the test of time without losing its splendour. By exploring our range, you will discover how a simple stone can embody a lasting memory.
Although the market offers various high-quality materials, granite stands out through its durability and elegance, which is why we exclusively use this natural material.
Unlike marble, which offers less choice of personalization, granite maintains its original appearance year after year, thereby offering a faithful and lasting tribute.
Ideal for traditional tombstones, granite is remarkably weather-resistant, maintaining the impeccable condition of the traditional stone monument. Opting for a granite tombstone means choosing lasting elegance and strength. This material also allows for excellent customization, such as engraved patterns, custom shapes, and colours, making each memorial headstone unique and respectful of the memory of the deceased.
When choosing a classic headstone, the colour palette doesn’t stop with traditional black or grey granite. Indeed, simplicity and neutrality can go very well with a large catalogue of colours to meet everyone’s personal preferences.
The shades range from blue to pink or green, allowing the individuality of each tribute to be reflected while maintaining the understated classic style. A light or darker colour is therefore completely compatible with a classic monument.
These colour choices aren’t limited to aesthetics; they also symbolize the preferences and values of the person being commemorated, making each classic headstone a unique and respectful monument.

Classic headstones stand out through simple and elegant shapes, ranging from the rectangular memorial marker to more rounded memorial designs such as the wave-shaped curved stele. In addition to offering a timeless, understated aesthetic, these stele shapes facilitate the engraving of details and patterns that make each monument customizable.
The simplicity of these shapes also highlights the elegance of the granite, an ideal material which allows us to pay a perpetual tribute to the memory of the deceased.
