Granite Memorial Heart – A Timeless Symbol of Eternal Bond
The heart form in cemetery architecture is the most beautiful way to express a love that never fades. Our Slanted Granite Heart (Model #5035), known as “My Heart,” is designed for a subtle yet profound commemoration of loved ones. Crafted from premium black granite, it radiates elegance and depth, serving as the centerpiece of any memorial site.
Thanks to its slanted design (skraat type), the inscription surface is perfectly oriented for visitors, while rainwater flows off freely, preventing water spots and making it easy to maintain.

Premium Personalization: Portrait and Inscription
Model #5035 is the ideal canvas for an engraved memorial portrait. On polished black granite, diamond technology achieves photographic precision, capturing fine details and halftones of the face. Inscriptions are carved using deep sandblasting, ensuring they remain perfectly legible for decades to come.
The black heart provides a stunning contrast on light-colored monuments (such as Viscont White or Impala granite) but looks equally sophisticated on black headstones, adding a three-dimensional element to the design.
Durability You Can Trust
Unlike composite products or casts, our heart is carved from a solid block of natural stone. This means 100% frost resistance and zero risk of fading under UV exposure. Choosing a stone from the Cempulik Polish workshop ensures precision-finished edges, as every piece is hand-beveled and polished to perfection.
[FAQ]
Will the engraving on black granite fade over time?
Absolutely not. Engraving is a physical alteration of the stone’s structure. The portrait and letters are “carved” into the granite, making them as permanent as the stone itself. They do not require repainting or restoration.
How do I mount the heart on an existing headstone?
Installation is simple and requires no drilling. The heart has a large, stable base. We recommend using a clear stone-grade silicone or frost-resistant construction adhesive. Simply apply a few dots of adhesive to the bottom and press onto the clean headstone surface.
Can I order a heart with two portraits?
Yes, the 35×30 cm and 40×35 cm sizes can easily accommodate two images (e.g., for a couple) and additional inscriptions. For the smallest size, we recommend one portrait for optimal clarity.
Will I receive a design proof before production?
Yes, this is standard practice at our company. After placing your order, we prepare a digital visualization of the engraving. Production only begins once you have reviewed and approved the design.
