The burial plot as a whole is usually also separated from the neighbouring plots. In rural cemeteries hedges are more often used to separate burial plots, whereas in towns, and in hilly cemeteries, masonry or concrete retaining walls clad in granite, fieldstone, tufa or dolomite are more common.
Very exclusive granite grave fences can sometimes be seen, although standard perimeter borders of concrete or granite on a concrete foundation, with decorative corner pieces, posts, flower beds or other elements, are more common.
SoulGarden offers granite or concrete borders of any complexity for the grave perimeter, as well as the corner design elements needed to finish it.
Grave borders that mark off a burial plot also have a practical and functional purpose. Sometimes the grave lies on a mound or a slope, where one side of the plot is much higher than the opposite side. A perimeter border helps to level the plot, makes it easier to install the monument and other fittings on the grave, and keeps the soil of the cemetery paths from mixing with the surface of the burial plot.
Materials for grave plots and planting
Today there are many popular materials that can be laid on a grave plot so that it is easy to look after, looks tasteful and suits the overall design of the grave.
SoulGarden offers all the most popular surface materials for burial plots – gravel, sand, dolomite, granite chippings and other materials.
Grave borders as a grave frame
Grave borders that mark out a specific grave, such as a grave frame, grave slab or sarcophagus, are a separate element of grave fittings.
SoulGarden offers a wide choice of granite and concrete grave borders for burials and grave frames for urn burials.
