Funeral monument in natural Burgundy stone. Simple funeral monument or double funeral monument.

A funeral monument encompasses the entire burial site (foundation, base, tombstone, stele, etc.). The tombstone is solely the horizontal part.

Regarding funeral monument models, the two most classic are the funeral monument with a prayer desk or the funeral monument with a planter. As a manufacturer, we can create a unique monument while assisting you. We can construct the entire monument or just a part (only the stele, the tombstone, or the base).

We primarily create your monuments to measure in 5 types of stone: Light Comblanchien, Slightly Speckled Comblanchien, Golden Yellow Lanvignes, Nuanced Semond, and Nuanced Ampilly.

Feel free to send us your sketches for a quote or call us to discuss your project.

Natural stone funerary stele. Grave marker

A stele, also called a milestone or standing stone, is a vertical monument with or without engraving.

It serves various purposes: commemorative, funerary, or geographical. In funerary contexts, it is often combined with a tombstone but can also be used with only a surrounding structure. These steles are dimensioned for funerary or cinerary monuments. They are often engraved to allow identification of the deceased. The stele is fixed onto a base, a foundation, or a slab; metal dowels (screws) secure it to its support.

As stone cutters, we can create fully customized projects: rectangular steles, trapezoidal steles (wider at the top), sloped steles (or beveled steles), molded steles (ogee, curved, rounded, basket-handle, or gendarme cap). The stele can also take the shape of a cross for Christian monuments. Additionally, we can produce personalized steles in the shape of a heart, star, book, or a design representing a passion or personality trait. Send us your sketch for pricing. We offer four dimensions and two thicknesses, the most common in the funerary sector.

We also create Muslim steles and Muslim funerary monuments.

The LANDSCAPED FUNERAL MONUMENT consists of a base measuring 200 x 100 cm, with two possible heights of 10 or 15 cm. A stela measuring 90 x 80 cm completes the monument (with a thickness of 10 cm). Several models are available (Rectangular, Two-pan, Rounded, Doucine).

As an option, the edges of the headstone can be split. The connection between the base and the stela is made using metal dowels (dowels provided, with holes drilled under the stela and at the back of the base). Engraving is an additional cost (12 euros including tax per letter).

Muslim tombstone in natural stone. Muslim funeral monument. Muslim funeral stele.

Our Muslim monuments consist of a stele and a base without a horizontal stone, respecting Muslim traditions. The earth is generally covered with white gravel or pebbles (white marble). Our funeral steles can be rounded with a pointed tip, reminiscent of a mosque dome, or simpler in a rectangular shape with two sloping sides (photos 5 and 6). Upon request, we design and manufacture a smaller second stele at the foot of the grave.

Our stone cutters can engrave the Muslim crescent, the star, or a verse from the Quran. Thus, Muslim symbols will be present on the stele or even on the base.

We create funeral steles in natural stone in different shapes: rectangular stele, trapezoidal stele (wider at the top), sloped stele (or with a cut edge), molded stele (convex, rounded, basket-handle, gendarme hat…).

For ashes monuments, we reduce the dimensions of the stele to be proportionate to the grave plot and the ashes slab.

The steles are often engraved and allow for the identification of the deceased. The stele is fixed on a base, on the foundation, or on the ashes slab; metal dowels (screws) allow the stele to be secured to its support.

Several stones are offered: Comblanchien Light or Slightly Spotted, Lanvignes Aged Golden-Yellow or Semond Nuanced.

Tombstone. Gravestone in natural stone. Funeral Monument.

The tombstone is the horizontal element placed directly on the monument or supported by a base or foundation. It can be engraved.

As an alternative to granite or marble, we craft our tombstones from five natural Burgundy stones: Comblanchien Clair, Comblanchien Lightly Speckled, or Lanvignes, Semond, and Ampilly (stones from the Châtillonnais region). Engraving is available in different colors: wine-red, black, gold leaf, blue, green…

Our tombstones are most often flat (or rectangular) but can also be sloped (from head to foot), rounded (or domed), with two slopes (a central ridge along the length), with facets (cut into three sections along the length), or featuring a cross in bas-relief. Our tombstones have a refined design to highlight the natural beauty of the stone. Provide us with the dimensions, and we will create a custom piece.

Natural stones from Burgundy in the world of funeral monuments

Alternative to granite or marble, we make all our funeral monuments and funerary accessories with 4 natural stones of Burgundy : Comblanchien Clair, Comblanchien Légèrement Moucheté or in Lanvignes Golden Yellow and Semond Blended (stones of the area of Châtillon sur Seine). Because of their aesthetic quality and durability, these 4 stones that are Geographical Indication – Natural Stones from Burgundy are particularly suitable for funeral and cinerary use. Check out this article on which stone to choose for funerary monuments to learn more.

Many tombs have been made of Comblanchien stone in prestigious cemeteries: Père Lachaise cemetery, Montmartre cemetery but also in many village cemeteries especially of course in Burgundy-Franche Comté. Indeed, the Comblanchien stone is recognized by the stone cutters as the reference in natural limestone for the cutting and shaping of funerary monuments.
