White Pebbles in Muslim Funerary Monuments

The Importance of White Pebbles in Muslim Funeral Tradition

Introduction

In Muslim funeral tradition, sobriety, respect, and simplicity are fundamental values. Monuments are generally minimalistic, without figurative sculptures, emphasizing purity, humility, and dignity.
White pebbles and gravel play a significant role in this philosophy.

At Guangdong Ruiwei Import & Export Co., Ltd, we have been supplying premium white materials specifically designed for Muslim funerary monuments for many years.
