The tablet face is worked to a coarse pitched texture while the ledger is taken to a mirror polish, both in grey granite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePitched Tablet on a Polished Ledger\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePitching a whole face by hand is the opposite discipline to polishing one, and here the same stone gets both. The tablet is pitched with a hammer working away from the arris so the rounded corners keep their line, while the ledger beside it is ground and buffed flat enough to hold a reflection. The two are cut from one block so the grey reads the same through both finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ledger covers the plot, which is why this suits a lawn section that permits full cover, a cremation plot or a family grave already set out. It sheds rain and needs no planting. The whole footprint has to sit dead level or the ledger will hold water. Burial authorities differ on full ledger cover more than on anything else, so check first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Ledger That Covers the Plot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight weeks. The ledger is ground and polished before the tablet is pitched, because pitching throws coarse flakes that would score a finished polish, and that order cannot be reversed. The rounded corners are worked last. Wording is cut into the polished ledger rather than the pitched face, worked to order, and both reach you uncut. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 1,074kg in two pieces, set with a gantry onto a level prepared pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull ledger memorials sit at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e; by stone, look at \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":53830927909211,"sku":"MST-MEM-055","price":15300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-055_1.jpg?v=1787139582","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/pitched-face-grey-granite-lawn-memorial-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
