Modern Plaque for Urn Graves: An Overview

Plaques for urn graves are an elegant and timeless way to commemorate a loved one. Similar to a tombstone, the plaque serves to mark and decorate the grave.

While a tombstone is traditionally placed upright at the head of a grave, a plaque lies flat or slightly angled on the ground surface of the grave. Plaques can replace a tombstone or be used in addition to one as an extra decorative element. The size of the plaque depends on the size of the grave. Plaques are suitable for all types of graves, whether it be an urn grave, a single or double grave. In the following text, we provide you with a brief overview of plaques for urn graves.

Design of Grave Slabs for Urn Graves

In designing a grave slab for an urn grave, there are countless possibilities as they offer ample space for inscriptions, images, and other decorative elements. Whether simple and understated or elaborately decorated, urn grave slabs provide a wide range of design options for every taste.

Modern Urn Grave Slabs

Grave slabs are often rectangular and adapted to the shape of the grave. However, urn graves can also be designed in a more modern way, for example, with slabs in abstract shapes. These shapes can be purely geometric or resemble natural elements like leaves, wings, or waves. Their ambiguous form inspires the imagination and serves as a perfect canvas for the many memories and emotions associated with the deceased person.

Another way to commemorate the unique personality of the deceased in a stylish and fashionable manner is through customized decor. With us, you can choose from numerous abstract and figurative decorative elements, which can be applied as a relief or an application in bronze or stainless steel on the urn grave slab. The use of decorative elements adds a striking accent and enhances even the simplest urn grave slabs.

An especially creative and modern way of remembering is through a QR code placed on the grave slab or another item at the grave. When a visitor scans the code with their mobile device, a website opens displaying images, videos, and texts that portray the deceased. With the many pieces of information that can be included on such a website, families can create an even more diverse and personal remembrance of their loved one.

Different Types of Grave Coverings

Traditional Urn Headstone Plaques

Headstone plaques for urn graves are traditionally rectangular or square. Such subtly shaped urn plaques emphasize the essential message: The remembrance of the beloved departed. The simple design brings the quality of the material to the forefront, creating a reserved yet elegant effect.

For those who value a traditional design but still wish to honor the deceased in a unique way, there are urn plaques with various shapes and design elements. Particularly popular are plaques shaped like a book. They convey peace and strength, offering a modest yet dignified remembrance of the departed. Heart-shaped urn plaques are also frequently chosen, symbolizing eternal love and connection. The cross symbol affirms the belief in resurrection, providing comfort for those with a religious background. Angels are also popular figures, perceived as protective and comforting companions.

In addition, we offer a wide variety of forms and symbols that can turn a traditional urn plaque into a personalized memorial of remembrance.

Maintaining a Cremation Headstone

The passage of time does not leave a monument, even one with a sense of eternity, untouched. Depending on the location of the grave and the weather conditions, you will need to clean and polish the headstone sooner or later. To prevent lichens, moss, bird droppings, etc. from permanently settling on the headstone, you should clean it regularly. The longer dirt stays on the stone, the harder it will be to remove it.

What do I need to clean cremation headstones?

Most natural stones can be cleaned with simple household items and tools.

Watering Can: With a watering can, which is usually available on-site, you can moisten the headstone and rinse it off after cleaning.

Brush: For scrubbing the headstone, a simple root brush is recommended. Choose a size or model that you can hold comfortably and firmly. Some elbow grease might be necessary for stubborn dirt.

Cloths and Sponges: With a regular household cloth and/or sponge, you can take care of the fine details. Dust and dirt that haven't settled firmly can be optimally removed this way, and you can give the headstone a final polish after the main cleaning.

Gravestone Cleaner: Gravestone cleaning products are available in household or specialized stores. They are ideal for cleaning headstones as they clean well without damaging the stone. Most of them only need to be sprayed on and allowed to work.
