A tombstone is a symbolic structure that requires significant consideration: it stands in a space that is open to the public but is also a private, reserved area where one goes for quiet reflection and contemplation. Its design must be practical but able to represent the social and cultural customs as well as the religious persuasions of the family it represents.
Family tombs are monuments designed to offer an extended family the possibility of sharing the same resting place after their departure from life on earth. As such they can contain a variable number of niches for the interment of remains.
The construction of tombs and chapels can only take place after one has obtained a building permit from the cemetery.
The construction technique is complex and based on a careful consideration of materials and finishes – necessary to create an elegant yet resistant structure. The precise design of a natural ventilation system ensures better durability.
