A black granite urn stands at the far end, and the whole group shares one granite base slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhite Marble Angel Beside a Granite Chest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarble and granite in one memorial is two trades. The angel is worked matte in white marble so the drapery holds shadow, while the chest is taken to a mirror polish in black granite that will not accept the same fine undercut and is finished by grinding rather than by chisel. The two are bedded so their faces sit flush where the figure meets the stone, and that joint is the last thing adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide low chest wants a double plot or a family grave and reads along its length, so it suits a cemetery avenue or an established churchyard rather than a narrow single. Polished granite shows every water mark, so avoid a position under dripping trees. Confirm the burial authority limits on width, height and polished finishes before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Dedication Across a Wide Granite Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve weeks. The granite is sawn, faced and polished before the marble figure is carved, because polishing grit thrown off that face would dull finished marble if the order were reversed. The urn is turned to match the chest. The granite face reaches you entirely blank and is cut to a single dedication in the lettering you settle on, or left bare for a local mason. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 2,546kg across four pieces, craned into place on a poured concrete foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore two-stone memorials sit in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e, with this one 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\u003e160cm\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":53830814663003,"sku":"MST-MEM-004","price":23786.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-004_1.jpg?v=1787138998","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/marble-angel-and-black-granite-chest-memorial-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
