Funerary monument in Burgundy limestone
Funeral base
Funeral base in stone. Surround of tombstone in natural Burgundy stone. Base of funeral monument.
The base corresponds to the surround of the tombstone or funeral monument. The objectives are multiple: to mark the limits of the plot, to ensure the stability and durability of the structure. The burial is most often placed on the base.
This base can be made of either concrete or natural stone. In certain cemeteries, particularly in Paris (such as Père-Lachaise), a stone base is mandatory. The dimensions are often determined by the cemetery, as they must consider the size of the land.
The bases can be flat or with water return. They are composed of four pieces (2 widths + 2 lengths). Bases with water return generally have a thickness of 5/7 cm or 6/8 cm. Flat bases have a minimum thickness of 5 cm. The total width of the base is 30 cm. The bedding is the part of the base on which the tombstone will rest, usually measuring 10 cm. The visible part of the base is called the isolation and therefore measures 20 cm.
We also manufacture the foundations and plinths in the same stone (and of course the steles and tombstones).
