A Selection of Unique Headstones at a Glance

If you're interested in a unique headstone, you have a wide variety of designs and shapes to choose from. To give you an overview of the different options, we've listed the most popular variants below. 

Unique Headstones with Images

An image of the deceased makes the memorial site truly special and personal. Many people feel closer to their loved ones when visiting the grave to mourn. The photo headstone is created by engraving the image into the stone using laser technology. Other methods are also possible, such as affixing the image made from porcelain or ceramic. These images can be in black and white or in color.

Headstone with Hobby Motif

Today, a headstone often reflects the life and personality of the deceased as much as possible. Hobbies and interests play a significant role in a person's life. A headstone with a corresponding motif is therefore considered something truly special. It is common to find headstones with musical instruments, books, or sports motifs.

Unique Headstones with Animal Motifs

The love for animals can play a significant role in a person's life, especially if someone works with animals professionally or is passionately involved in animal welfare. Many animal lovers wish to reflect this passion in their headstone design. This could include motifs of dogs, cats, horses, or birds. Birds, in particular, often symbolize freedom. The choice of materials is almost limitless.

Personalized Headstones with Professional Motifs

Ideally, a person’s profession is also their calling and passion, making life more enjoyable even as we spend a considerable amount of our time working. For rural professions like farming or for trades such as carpentry, it’s common to see elements like a sheaf of wheat or a hammer incorporated into the headstone. Doctors often prefer the inclusion of the caduceus symbol.

Exclusive Headstones with Glass Elements

The combination of glass and stone can create a stunning contrast. Sunlight refracts uniquely through glass, bestowing the headstone with a special warmth. Glass elements introduce an additional design layer, changing the headstone’s appearance based on the time of day and sunlight. Light is often seen as a symbol of divinity and conveys transparency, lightness, and warmth.

Antique Headstones

Antique headstones are generally simple but draw attention with their unique patterns. They emulate old designs and are often quite straightforward. These headstones distinctively stand out and have a unique impact. They are suitable for individuals who appreciated classic, historical designs during their lifetime.

How Much Does a Unique Headstone Cost?

Since these headstones are not mass-produced with simple inscriptions, but rather individually handcrafted, they do come with a price. Precise figures cannot be provided as the cost is influenced by various components such as materials, design, effort, and additional services. Simply put, the more effort required, the more expensive a headstone will be.

It is important to note that due to technical limitations or the varying strictness of cemetery regulations, not everything can be implemented in every cemetery. We handle the approval process before the headstone is installed and, if the stone does not meet the requirements, we also work to align your wishes and ideas with the applicable regulations.
