Double Headstones: Design and Materials

Double Headstones Made of Sandstone

Sandstone is one of the most natural and timeless stones, often available in warmer tones. As a softer natural stone, it is particularly suitable for intricate decorations and details. One of the main advantages is that sandstone is quarried in Germany, making it not only sustainable but also affordable.

Double Headstones Made of Granite

Granite belongs to the category of hard stones and is renowned for its durability and longevity. It comes in various colors and patterns and is very easy to maintain and weather-resistant. Double headstones made of granite are timeless masterpieces that can last for generations.

Double Headstones Made of Limestone

Limestone headstones are also softer natural stones and can be sourced sustainably through local quarries. They are noted for their long lifespan and can be elegantly customized and engraved with fine details.

Double Tombstones Made of Basalt

Basalt belongs to the group of volcanic rocks and has a characteristic dark color. It is available in shades of blue, blue-gray, dark gray, or black. Basalt weathers very slowly, which is why it is very popular for tombstones.

Double Tombstones Made of Marble

Marble is one of the premium stone options and stands out due to its elegance and durability. With varied veining, such tombstones are highly unique - but also very expensive. The reason: Marble cannot be sourced locally. Additionally, marble is comparatively high-maintenance.

Components of a Double Headstone with Grave

Double Headstones with Borders

Some cemeteries even require borders for graves, but they also have several advantages on their own: They ensure the grave site appears cohesive and provide a clear separation from neighboring graves. In the case of double graves, the border can also symbolize something very special: The strong connection between the deceased.

Double Grave Sites with Covers

A cover for double grave sites offers not only aesthetic benefits but also practical advantages. It significantly reduces the maintenance effort, while providing a wide variety of options. Depending on your preference, cutouts are possible—or you might opt for a full cover. Whether a full cover is permitted on a double grave site varies from cemetery to cemetery.

Double Headstones with Symbols

Symbols on the headstone can represent the deceased’s passions, relationships, or faith—but they can also be a sign for the bereaved. There is hardly anything that offers as much space for individuality as a personal symbol.

Appropriate design and style: The material, the engraving, and possible ornaments: The design of the double grave is very individual.

Often, symmetry is considered with double headstones – but asymmetrical designs are also popular.

Modern double headstones and their unique features: Today, modern double headstones offer a wide range of design possibilities that go beyond traditional designs. Innovative shapes, material combinations, and processing techniques create numerous options. Your creativity knows no bounds. Note: Different cemeteries may have varying guidelines regarding design.

Variations and significance of dimensions and size: A double grave usually measures approximately 2.20 x 2.00 meters. However, there can be size deviations depending on the cemetery. There is also the option to choose a double grave as a deep grave. In this case, the deceased are buried not side by side, but on top of each other. This reduces the grave space itself and often helps save costs.

Costs and Prices of Double Gravestones

Gravestone

The cost for the actual double gravestone ranges from 3000 to 4000 euros. These costs cover the production of the memorial stone itself and reflect the choice of material, design, and workmanship.

Bordering

The bordering around the double grave can be added additionally and costs around 2800 euros, but can vary by up to 20 percent in either direction. You will receive an exact calculation after we have discussed all the details.

Grave Plate

The grave plate, which additionally reduces the plantable area within the bordering, generally costs between 300 and 2000 euros. Here, too, the material, its thickness, as well as the design and style are decisive factors.

Inscription

The costs for the inscription vary depending on the extent. It is customary in the industry to charge by the number of characters - however, we offer a flat rate for integrated names and dates. For special requests such as extra-mounted inscriptions, images, phrases, or non-Latin inscriptions, individual costs will be calculated. The flat rate of 350 euros applies for the basic calculator.

Transport & Installation

The costs for transport and installation of a grave complex simply depend on its extent. If it is merely a flat gravestone that does not require a foundation, this is significantly cheaper compared to a standing double gravestone with bordering and possibly plates. The costs can range from 200 euros to about 2,000 euros for extensive grave complexes.
