When a little child's heart has lived so briefly that it seems like the touch of a butterfly... Poignant and moving, a heart-shaped monument with a portrait of a little girl stands on the grave mound. The exclusive memorial ensemble, with a heart at its centre on an elegant pedestal, symbolises the parents' love and care, keeping in bright memory the "departure" of their beloved daughter, like a butterfly flying away.
Heart-shaped monument on an elegant pedestal, complemented by a portrait of the little girl on glass and bronze butterflies, with a heart-shaped grave slab of white and black granite in front of it.
The memorial ensemble was created to an individual design, taking into account the wishes of the grieving parents and seeking to express their poignant and bright memories.

The composition of the memorial ensemble uses granite in two colours - black Karelian granite and white Wisconte White granite. The gravestone itself, made in the shape of a heart, is adorned with exclusive bronze butterflies, and a portrait on glass and Caggiati bronze letters were used in the design of the monument. The monument stands on an elegant pedestal of two-colour granite. Engraved on the monument is a little song that the beloved daughter had learned to hum…
