Cremation urn gravestone 'Heart'

A resting place that reflects who they were

Choosing a memorial for an urn grave is one of the hardest decisions you will make. You want something that does justice to the person you have lost, and that will stand the test of time without needing attention or repair. This granite gravestone urn monument in a heart shape offers both.

Granite: what it is and why it lasts

Granite is one of the hardest natural stones used in memorial production. Quarried from the earth's crust, it is exceptionally dense, absorbs virtually no moisture, resists discolouration from sunlight, and holds its structure for decades. A granite memorial requires no sealing, no seasonal treatment, and no upkeep. Once placed, it simply endures. For many people, that reliability brings a quiet kind of reassurance, knowing the memorial will remain as it is long into the future.

The heart as a considered choice

The shape of this cremation urn monument is not decorative for its own sake. A heart speaks directly to the bond you shared: the love, the closeness, and the loss you carry now. Placing that form at the grave makes something private visible in a clear, dignified way. Visitors understand it immediately, and you do not need to explain it.

Available in several granite colours

This memorial is available in a range of granite shades, from light grey through to deep black and softer rose-toned variants. The choice allows you to find something that suits the character of your loved one or fits the setting of the cemetery.

Personalisation: your words, cut in stone

Engraving is available and applied directly to the stone. You decide the name, dates, and any additional text or symbols you would like to include. Once you have placed your order, you will receive a proof for approval before anything is cut, so you can check every detail at your own pace.

Practical things worth knowing before you order

Granite is a robust material for a funeral urn monument, but placing a memorial at a cemetery involves more than choosing the stone. Rules vary between cemeteries and local authorities, and it is worth checking before you commit.

Check with your cemetery first

Before ordering, we strongly recommend speaking to your cemetery manager or local authority about what is and is not permitted at your specific site. Some cemeteries specify maximum dimensions, approved materials, or permitted shapes. Others restrict installation to local stonemasons. Any concrete base slab or foundation piling beneath the memorial will need to be installed by the cemetery directly. If you are considering placing the urn monument in a private garden rather than at a cemetery, a plastic urn vault is also available, which you can install yourself. Custom dimensions can be discussed if the standard size does not suit your requirements.

Once your order is placed, we will send you a proof of the engraving for your approval. Nothing goes to stone until you are satisfied with what you see.
