What characterises marble

Marble is a fine-textured stone, typically white, cream or with grey veining. Its light, elegant appearance makes it well suited to monuments with a refined character.

Compared with granite, marble is more porous. It can stain over time and requires more careful maintenance, especially in areas with high humidity.

Designs and components

A marble monument can be a cross, a simple monument with base and panel, or a double monument for two people. A vase base and kerbs can be added.

The inscription is engraved into the stone, sometimes with gilded lettering. To place it on a grave plot, a concession and the cemetery's approval are required.

Maintenance and durability

Marble requires periodic cleaning to prevent yellowing or staining. Protective treatments are available to extend its appearance.

It lasts many years, though less well than granite in outdoor conditions. For maximum durability, see the granite monument.
