The heart is polished to a mirror black, and both the figure and the tablet stand on a low black plinth that runs the full width beneath them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAngel Headstone Set Against a Polished Heart\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo stones in one memorial is the difficulty here. The white marble is worked matte so the drapery holds shadow, while the heart is taken to a mirror polish that reflects the sky, and the two have to be bedded so their faces sit dead flush at the joint. The angel is carved from a single block, wings and all, so nothing is pinned on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA memorial of this kind needs a full grave plot rather than a lawn section, so it suits a parish churchyard, a private family enclosure or a walled memorial garden. Burial authorities set their own limits on height, footprint and finish, so check theirs before you order, and allow clear ground on all sides for maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Inscription and Meeting Cemetery Rules\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen weeks. The heart is polished before the angel is finished, because the polishing grit would dull a finished face if it were done the other way round, and that order cannot be changed. The tablet is supplied BLANK and cut to your own wording in a lettering style you choose, or left plain for a local mason. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 1,074kg in two pieces, and it beds onto a concrete foundation poured to suit your ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore memorials are in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e, with the stone under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/granite-headstones\"\u003egranite headstones\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Granite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53819971174747,"sku":"MST-MEM-005","price":20447.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-005_1.jpg?v=1787071475","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/kneeling-angel-and-black-heart-granite-headstone-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
