One wing lifts high behind her while the other trails to the ground, and she kneels on rough-hewn rockwork above a stepped plinth and a smooth base slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWeeping Angel Carved Against a Latin Cross\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cross has to carry the figure without looking as though it does. Its shaft is left a little heavier than the proportions want, because the raised wing and the weight of the leaning body both bear on it, and the arm she rests upon is the thinnest section anywhere in the memorial. The rockwork under her knees is left rough from the point chisel so that the smoother cross reads against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cross memorial of this height belongs on a full grave plot: a parish churchyard, a cemetery avenue, a family enclosure or a walled memorial garden. The raised wing reads best against open sky rather than against another stone, so give it clear ground behind, and confirm the burial authority limits on height and footprint before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSiting a Cross Memorial and Adding Wording\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwelve weeks. The cross is cut and stood first and the angel is carved to meet it, because the fall of her shoulders and the angle of her head are both set by where the cross arm finishes, and that order cannot be reversed. The rockwork is worked last so the chisel marks stay crisp. Both the cross face and the base slab arrive uncarved, and whatever you want on them is cut to order in a lettering style of your choosing, or the faces are left for your own mason. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 2,098kg, crated upright, and it beds onto a poured concrete foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther memorials are gathered in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e, with the stone under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-headstones\"\u003emarble 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\u003e150cm\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 Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53822252319067,"sku":"MST-MEM-002","price":23647.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-002_1.jpg?v=1787091507","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/weeping-angel-on-a-latin-cross-marble-memorial-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
