Prices for a granite monument
What affects the cost of a granite monument
The price of a granite monument depends on many factors that should be taken into account when choosing and ordering a memorial structure. The main aspects that affect the cost:
- Size and type of monument - Single monuments, family memorials, or large memorial complexes vary considerably in cost due to the amount of material used and the complexity of manufacturing.
- Material of manufacture - The most common materials:
- Granite - durable, aesthetically pleasing, and available in a variety of colours.
- Gabbro - black stone with a high density and deep colour.
- Labradorite - a stone with unique colour shades.
- Local variants of gabbro - an economical choice while maintaining the main properties.
- Finish and decor - Additional decorations, such as curly chamfering, hand engraving, coloured elements or relief patterns, increase the value of the monument.
- Installation site - The size and type of the place where the monument will be installed affects the choice of foundation design and the need for additional services (transport, installation).
Stages of cost calculation
- Choosing a design When designing a monument, individual features are taken into account, such as:
- Shape and size.
- Decorative features that can reflect a person's hobbies or life path.
