There are professions that cannot be separated from the person – a doctor remains a doctor even in retirement, and a teacher is remembered by students long after they have grown up themselves. This subcategory collectsgravestone emblemscommemorating professions that require years of study and responsibility for others: medicine, law, education, science and engineering.
Here you will find a caduceus, the scales of justice and the scales of Themis, an open book, an atom model, a compass with a set square, and a cogwheel. All are made of stainless steel, in three sizes and four finishes – from a subdued satin to a solemn gold.
The strength of these motifs is their universality. The caduceus stands for medicine regardless of specialty, the scales for justice and impartial judgment, the book for the passing on of knowledge. These are signs that every visitor can read, including people outside the family, which is why they work so well as a lasting mark of a professional path.
The professions of public trust are associated with restraint and order, and these emblems are the same. Geometric, symmetrical compositions without unnecessary ornament sit well on both a classic gravestone and a modern slab with straight edges, without drawing attention away from the inscription.
Polished and satin finishes emphasize a modern, technical look and suit engineering and scientific emblems. Gold gives the composition a solemn tone, often chosen for legal and medical motifs. Black contrasts strongly with light granite and gives the most restrained effect.
Both refer to the symbol of scales, but they differ in composition. The scales of justice are most often chosen for judges, while the scales of Themis are chosen for attorneys, legal advisers, notaries and prosecutors.
Yes. The atom model is often read more broadly, as a sign of science in general, and it works on the gravestone of a physicist, chemist, researcher or science teacher.
For small plaques and urn graves the smallest version works best, as it keeps the motif fully legible without dominating the inscription. The larger sizes are best kept for wide gravestone slabs.
