Contemporary gravestones follow the rule of the clean line – and it is for them that themodern free-standing crossesin this subcategory were created. Instead of traditional ornamentation, they rely on an expressive, geometric silhouette and the refined simplicity of stainless steel. These crosses crown the gravestone with a vertical accent without overwhelming it, and they look as good today as they will in many years.
Here you will find minimalist, linear and geometric forms – from slender, austere crosses to versions with a distinct, architectural character. Each model is mounted upright on the slab, where it forms a three-dimensional sign of remembrance, visible from the cemetery path and resistant to rain, frost and sun.
A modern cross for a gravestone convinces by what it leaves out – unnecessary decoration that quickly goes out of fashion. A clean line and balanced proportions keep the form current for generations. It is a choice for those who value elegance based on simplicity and want the gravestone to look coherent and timeless.
Unlike flat appliqués glued to the stone, a free-standing cross has depth – its edges reflect the light differently in the morning and in the afternoon, so the gravestone changes with the time of day. Stainless steel does not rust or lose its color, so this clean, modern silhouette keeps its character for decades without maintenance.
We offer each cross in four heights – 40, 50, 60 and 70 cm – and in four finishes: polished, gold-plated, black and satin. The satin and polished finishes especially emphasize the modern character of the form: satin gives a subdued matte look, polished a distinct shine that reflects the sky. This makes it easy to match the cross to the color of the granite and the style of a contemporary gravestone.
A free-standing cross is mounted upright on the slab or gravestone, where it is a three-dimensional element, visible from a distance, that shapes the silhouette of the gravestone. A cross mounted flat is glued flat to the stone and is more discreet. The free-standing version gives the composition of the gravestone more order and adds a vertical line.
Lighter finishes – polished and satin – suit dark stone best, creating an elegant contrast. Black works well on light granite, and gold warms both color schemes. The minimalist form goes well with contemporary, smooth slabs.
Yes. It is made of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion, rain and frost. When properly set in the stone, it stands firmly for years and needs no painting or restoration – an occasional wipe is enough.
