FUNERAL MONUMENTS · GRANITE · MARBLE
The funeral monument is the final element of organizing a burial — a permanent tribute to the departed. We work with granite (most durable option), marble (classic, elegant), basalt (intense black), and travertine (rustic). We offer simple monuments (cross + pedestal, from 1,500 RON), complete monuments with grave covering and borders (3,500-8,000 RON), and premium crypts (up to 25,000 RON). All include inscribed name, dates, and short epitaph.
Manufacturing time varies by complexity. Simple standard granite cross: 2-3 weeks. Complete monument with covering and borders: 4-6 weeks. Crypt: 2-4 months. For urgent cases (installation at 40 days from death), we prioritize.
Cemetery installation requires cemetery administration approval (generally 1-2 business days) and is done by our specialized team. Actual duration 4-8 hours for standard monument, 1-2 days for crypt.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Traditionally, the monument is installed after 40 days from burial (alongside the 40-day memorial). This period allows natural soil settling. For urgent cases, the monument can be installed earlier, but there's risk of unevenness. For late cases (after 6 months, 1 year), additional ground preparation is done.
Granite is very durable — 50-100+ years without major aesthetic issues. Only possible issues: inscription yellowing (after 30-50 years) and minor photo-engraving erosion. For photo-ceramic, durability is 20-40 years — after that, replacement may be needed.
Yes. Most common ranges: gray (most accessible), red (popular in Romania), black (Basalt or Indian black granite), green, white-cream. Price differences can be significant — Romanian Carpathian red granite is accessible, Indian black granite is more expensive (+30-50%).
Yes, in many cases. Adding a new name (for spouses, when the second dies), inscribing a new date, adding photo-ceramic, redoing faded inscriptions — all possible. We visit you at the cemetery for evaluation, with indicative cost after.
Annual cleaning with water and soap (or stone-specific solutions — no strong acids), removing moss and algae in spring, replacing dried flowers, redoing faded inscriptions after 20-30 years. We can offer annual maintenance service (200-500 RON/year).
Yes. For civil ceremonies, non-religious families, or non-Christian confessions, we offer crossless monuments — geometric shape (cube, pillar, prism), horizontal plate (more discreet), or monument with other religious symbol (Jewish cross, Islamic crescent, Buddhist symbol, etc.).
