1. The Tombstone: A Symbol of Lasting Memory
The tombstone is the central element of the funerary monument. It allows families to:
Protect and honor the deceased
Provide a dedicated space for prayer and reflection
Include religious or personal inscriptions (name, birth and death dates, Quranic verses)
More and more families are choosing tombstones that are simple yet elegant, in line with Muslim tradition.
2. Bowls: Symbolism and Practical Uses
Bowls integrated into the monument serve multiple purposes:
Symbolic: Some bowls are used to hold water, flowers, or small offerings, symbolizing purity and the ongoing connection with the deceased.
Aesthetic: They add a harmonious decorative element, often crafted from granite matching the monument.
Practical: Bowls can contain white gravel or pebbles, frequently used in Muslim monuments for their simplicity and spiritual significance.
The tombstone-and-bowls combination meets the ritual and visual needs of families more and more effectively.
3. Why This Choice is Increasingly Preferred by Muslim Families
Respect for Tradition: Simplicity, absence of figurative sculptures, and a space for religious practices.
Practicality and Easy Maintenance: Bowls hold gravel or flowers, reducing the effort required to maintain the grave.
Personalization: Families can select granite color, bowl size, and inscriptions according to their preferences and beliefs.
Durability: A complete monument (tombstone + bowls) in quality granite ensures a long-lasting memory, which is why more and more families are choosing this design.
