MONUMENTS · GRANITE
A granite monument costs between 1,500 and 8,000 lei and is the most durable choice for a grave. Granite withstands decades of weather without losing its colour or shine.
Granite is a hard stone, resistant to frost, rain and sun. Unlike marble, it does not stain easily and retains its shine over time.
It is the most widely used material for funeral monuments. It comes in several colours — black, grey and red — each with a distinct look.
A granite monument can be a simple cross, a complete monument with base and panel, or a full surround with kerbs and stone cladding for the entire plot.
The inscription is engraved directly into the stone and lasts as long as the monument itself. To place it on a grave plot, a concession and the cemetery's approval are required.
Installation takes place at the cemetery once the plot is prepared. The work generally takes 1–3 days depending on complexity.
Granite requires minimal maintenance — simply wipe away dust and leaves. No special treatments are needed, unlike more porous stones.
